Observation of a large, resonant, cross-Kerr nonlinearity in a cold Rydberg gas
We report the experimental observation of a cross-Kerr nonlinearity in a free-space medium based on resonantly excited, interacting Rydberg atoms and electromagnetically induced transparency. The nonlinearity is used to implement cross-phase modulation between two optical pulses. The nonlinear phase...
