Description:
Author(s): T. B. Pittman, D. E. Jones, and J. D. Franson We demonstrate nanowatt-level saturated absorption using a subwavelength diameter tapered optical fiber (TOF) suspended in a gas of metastable xenon atoms. This ultralow-power nonlinearity is enabled by a small optical mode area propagating over a relatively long distance through the Xe gas. The use... [Phys. Rev.
