Storage and Release of Subradiant Excitations in a Dense Atomic Cloud
We report the observation of subradiance in dense ensembles of cold ^{87}Rb atoms operating near Dicke’s regime of a large number of atoms in a volume with dimensions smaller than the transition wavelength. We validate that the atom number is the only cooperativity parameter governing subradiance. W...
