Frequency pushing enhanced by an exceptional point in an atom–cavity coupled system
Abstract We observed the frequency pushing of the cavity resonance as a result of the coupling of the cavity field with the ground state 138Ba in a high-Q cavity. A weak probe laser propagated along the axis of a Fabry–Pérot cavity while ground-state barium atoms traversed the cavity mode perpendicu...

description | Abstract We observed the frequency pushing of the cavity resonance as a result of the coupling of the cavity field with the ground state 138Ba in a high-Q cavity. A weak probe laser propagated along the axis of a Fabry–Pérot cavity while ground-state barium atoms traversed the cavity mode perpendicularly. By operating the atom–cavity composite in the vicinity of an exceptional point, we could observe a greatly enhanced frequency shift of the cavity transmission peak, which was pushed away from the atomic resonance, resulting in up to 41 ± 7 kHz frequency shift per atom from the empty cavity resonance. We analyzed our results by using the Maxwell–Schrödinger equation and obtained good agreement with the measurements. |
