We use the time arrival information of a heralding photon to actively modify the delay of the heralded photon in an all-fiber assembly, in order to synchronize the output with respect to an external clock. Within this synchronized operating regime we show that the addition of a single temporal correcting stage can improve the figure of merit for single-photon emission of a heralded photon source. We obtain a brightness improvement factor of approximately 1.8 and an enhancement of the signal-to-noise ratio, quantified by the coincidence-to-accidental counts ratio. These results clear the way for integrated optics nonclassical photon sources in the optical communication band.","PeriodicalId":20146,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review A","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142205871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One such important effect is the response of a probe field to such a tripartite interaction between photon-magnon-phonon. In this paper we study the Goos-Hänchen shift (GHS) of a reflected probe field in a cavity magnomechanical system. We consider a yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere positioned within a microwave cavity. A microwave control field directly drives the magnon mode in the YIG sphere, whereas the cavity is driven via a weak probe field. Our results show that the GHS can be coherently controlled through magnon-phonon coupling via the control field. For instance, the GHS can be tuned from positive to negative by tuning the magnon-phonon coupling. Similarly, the effective cavity detuning is another important controlling parameter for the GHS. Furthermore, we observe that the enhancement of the GHS occurs when magnon-phonon coupling is weak at resonance and when the magnon-photon coupling is approximately equal to the loss of microwave photons. Our findings may have potential significance in applications related to microwave switching and sensing.","PeriodicalId":20146,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review A","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142205868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Incorporating these factors into a generalized coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation and fitting them to recent experimental results reveals two key relationships: the photon drag effect can have a nonlinear component that is dependent on the motion of the medium, and the temporal dynamics of the moving birefringent nonlinear medium create distorted figure-eight-like transverse trajectories at the output. The beam trajectory can be accurately modeled with a full understanding of the propagation effects. Efficiently modeling these effects and accurately predicting the beam's output position has implications for optimizing applications in velocimetry and beam steering. Understanding the roles of competitive nonlinearities gives insight into the creation or suppression of nonlinear phenomena like self-action effects.","PeriodicalId":20146,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review A","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142205867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The motional Stark effect is a well-established effect that has been approximately included in calculations of spectra of magnetized plasmas, usually through diagonalizing the Hamiltonian. The motional Stark effect for continuum states is poorly defined due to an overlap integral that results in a Dirac delta function. This paper presents a workaround by evaluating the motional Stark effect in the Green's function within the scattering formalism. We report on some results pertaining to bound-free spectra for white dwarf and neutron star magnetic field strengths. In most cases, resonances in the continuum are shifted and broadened. This behavior has the effect of raising the Rosseland mean opacity in white dwarfs and neutron star atmospheres.","PeriodicalId":20146,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review A","volume":"147 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142205912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We analytically and numerically analyze the optical properties and loss of the dielectric medium, along with the nonequilibrium effects of the environment on the GP. In the weak coupling limit, we find that the correction to the GP depends on the partial local density of photonic states at the atom position, and an effective parameter that emerges out of the nonequilibrium configuration of the system. The GP exhibits a significant enhancement due to the excitation of evanescent surface waves at its resonance frequency. It is shown that the GP acquired by the atomic system out of thermal equilibrium is always bounded between the thermal-equilibrium counterparts. Furthermore, the temperature difference between the nanosphere and free space can play an important role in the GP only at moderate atomic distances from the nanosphere. Our results elegantly demonstrate properties of the GP near material media that can support phononic modes and pave the way for further research of GP as a resource for quantum computation.","PeriodicalId":20146,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review A","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142205917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
