We experimentally demonstrate strong coupling between a one-dimensional (1D) single-atom array and high-finesse miniature cavity. The atom is obtained by loading single atoms into 1D optical tweezer with dimensions of 1×11. Therefore, deterministic number obtained, the determined imaging on CCD camera in real time. By precisely controlling position spacing high finesse Fabry-Perot cavity, all are strongly coupled to cavity simultaneously. vacuum Rabi splitting spectra discriminated for...
Optical nonreciprocity is important in photonic information processing to route the optical signal or prevent reverse flow of noise. By adopting strong nonlinearity associated with a few atoms strongly coupled cavity QED system and an asymmetric configuration, we experimentally demonstrate nonreciprocal transmission between two counterpropagating light fields extremely low power. The 18% achieved for forward field, maximum blocking ratio 30 dB. Though can be maximized by optimizing impedance...
