Enhancement of localization in one-dimensional random potentials with long-range correlations
We experimentally study the effect of enhancement of localization in weak
one-dimensional random potentials. Our experimental setup is a single mode
waveguide with 100 tuneable scatterers periodically inserted into the
waveguide. By measuring the amplitudes of transmitted and reflected waves in
the spacing between each pair of scatterers, we observe a strong decrease of
the localization length when white-noise scatterers are replaced by a
correlated arrangement of scatterers.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figure
Experimental observation of the mobility edge in a waveguide with correlated disorder
The tight-binding model with correlated disorder introduced by Izrailev and
Krokhin [PRL 82, 4062 (1999)] has been extended to the Kronig-Penney model. The
results of the calculations have been compared with microwave transmission
spectra through a single-mode waveguide with inserted correlated scatterers.
All predicted bands and mobility edges have been found in the experiment, thus
demonstrating that any wanted combination of transparent and non-transparent
frequency intervals can be realized experimentally by introducing appropriate
correlations between scatterers.Comment: RevTex, 4 pages including 4 Postscript figure
Single-photon transport in a one dimentional waveguide coupling to a hybrid atom-optomechanical system
We explore theoretically the single-photon transport in a single-mode
waveguide that is coupled to a hybrid atom-optomechanical system in a strong
optomechanical coupling regime. Using a full quantum real-space approach,
transmission and reflection coefficients of the propagating single-photon in
the waveguide are ob- tained. The influences of atom-cavity detuning and the
dissipation of atom on the transport are also studied. Intriguingly, the
obtained spectral features can reveal the strong light-matter interaction in
this hybrid system.Comment: 7pages, 8figure
Theory of single-photon transport in a single-mode waveguide coupled to a cavity containing a two-level atom
The single-photon transport in a single-mode waveguide, coupled to a cavity
embedded with a two-leval atom is analyzed. The single-photon transmission and
reflection amplitudes, as well as the cavity and the atom excitation
amplitudes, are solved exactly via a real-space approach. It is shown that the
dissipation of the cavity and of the atom respectively affects distinctively on
the transport properties of the photons, and on the relative phase between the
excitation amplitudes of the cavity mode and the atom.Comment: 28 pages, 6 figures. Accepted by Physical Review A (2009
