Electromagnetic waves in an optical photonic lattice

Laser light propagation in a photonic lattice consisting of two parallel waveguide arrays is theoretically studied using the coupled mode method, with the interaction of each waveguide with the nearest neighbours and between the waveguides of the arrays being taken into account. Analytical expressions are obtained that make it possible to accurately predict the presence of localisation of light depending on the coupling constants. Particular solutions of a system of coupled waves are found, which describe strongly localised light propagating without transverse diffraction along the entire lattice at certain values of the coupling constants. The emergence of spatially limited transverse diffraction of light is predicted. (integral optics)

Longitudinal Current Induced by a Plane Electromagnetic Wave in a Single Atom

The change in the polarization state of the atomic response due to the appearence of the longitudinal component, which has been predicted in [A. Andreev, S. Stremoukhov, and O. Shoutova, Europhys. Lett. 120, 14003 (2017)], has been studied. The dependence of the vector properties of the atomic current induced in an atom with unit angular momentum in the ground state on the properties of a two-color laser field with orthogonally polarized components has been analyzed. It has been shown that the variation of the delay time between the frequency components of the laser field makes it possible to efficiently control the polarization of the components of the atomic response field. The effect of the mutual orientation of the electric component of the laser field and the angular momentum of the atom on the longitudinal component of the atomic current and on the polarization properties of the generated radiation has been demonstrated.
