Optical control of Faraday rotation in hot Rb vapor

preprint2009arXivOpen access

Abstract

We demonstrate controlled polarization rotation of an optical field conditional on the presence of a second field. Induced rotations of greater than pi/2 rad are seen with a transmission of 95%, corresponding to a ratio of phase shift to absorption of 40 pi. This combination of large, controlled rotation and low loss is well-suited for the manipulation of both classical and quantum light pulses.
