We theoretically propose a method to enhance Raman scattering by injecting a seeded light field which is correlated with the initially prepared atomic spin wave. Such a light-atom correlation leads to an interference in the Raman scattering. The interference is sensitive to the relative phase between the seeded light field and initially prepared atomic spin wave. For constructive interference, the Raman scattering is greatly enhanced. Such an enhanced Raman scattering may find applications in quantum information, nonlinear optics and optical metrology due to its simplicity.

A theoretical model describing the Raman scattering process in atomic vapors is constructed. The treatment investigates the low-excitation regime suitable for modern experimental applications. Despite the incorporated decoherence effects (possibly mo
de dependent) it allows for a direct separation of the time evolution from the spatial degrees of freedom. The impact of noise on the temporal properties of the process is examined. The model is applied in two experimentally relevant situations of ultra-cold and room-temperature atoms. The spatial eigenmodes of the Stokes photons and their coupling to atomic excitations are computed. Similarly, dynamics and the waveform of the collective atomic state are derived for quantum memory implementations.
The multiple scattering of photons in a hot, resonant, atomic vapor is investigated and shown to exhibit a Levy Flight-like behavior. Monte Carlo simulations give insights into the frequency redistribution process that originates the long steps characteristic of this class of random walk phenomena.
We report on the observation of Bragg scattering at 1D atomic lattices. Cold atoms are confined by optical dipole forces at the antinodes of a standing wave generated by the two counter-propagating modes of a laser-driven high-finesse ring cavity. By
heterodyning the Bragg-scattered light with a reference beam, we obtain detailed information on phase shifts imparted by the Bragg scattering process. Being deep in the Lamb-Dicke regime, the scattered light is not broadened by the motion of individual atoms. In contrast, we have detected signatures of global translatory motion of the atomic grating.
We utilized the all-copropagating scheme, which maintains the phase-match condition, in the spontaneous four-wave mixing (SFWM) process to generate biphotons from a hot atomic vapor. The scheme enables our biphotons not only to surpass those in the p
revious works of hot-atom SFWM, but also to compete with the biphotons that are generated by either the cold-atom SFWM or the cavity-assisted spontaneous parametric down conversion. The biphoton linewidth in this work is tunable for an order of magnitude. As we tuned the linewidth to 610 kHz, the maximum two-photon correlation function, $g_{s,as}^{(2)}$, of the biphotons is 42. This $g_{s,as}^{(2)}$ violates the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality for classical light by 440 folds, and demonstrates that the biphotons have a high purity. The generation rate per linewidth of the 610-kHz biphoton source is 1,500 pairs/(s$cdot$MHz), which is the best result of all the sub-MHz biphoton sources in the literature. By increasing the pump power by 16 folds, we further enhanced the generation rate per linewidth to 2.3$times$10$^4$ pairs/(s$cdot$MHz), while the maximum $g_{s,as}^{(2)}$ became 6.7. In addition, we are able to tune the linewidth down to 290$pm$20 kHz. This is the narrowest linewidth to date, among all the various kinds of single-mode biphotons.
We show how two circular polarization components of a linearly polarized pulse, propagating through a coherently driven dilute atomic vapor, can be well resolved in time domain by weak measurement. Slower group velocity of one of the components due t
o electromagnetically induced transparency leads to a differential group delay between the two components. For low number density, this delay may not be large enough to temporally resolve the two components. We show how this can be enhanced in terms of mean time of arrival of the output pulse through a post-selected polarizer. We demonstrate the idea with all the analytical and numerical results, with a specific example of alkali atoms.
