In this proposal we shall continue our efforts to generate cutting-edge science where fundamental and applied research will advance together in the field of optics. Our research program comprises three main thrusts: cold-matter physics, plasmonics and biophotonics, fields that linked by a common theme of light matter interaction. In parallel we shall advance fundamental understanding and …
In this project, we will investigate the role of dimensionality and polarization in the scattering of light by point particles. The panel of skills of the participants makes it possible to study light scattering in 10 (optical cavity of Prof. Courteille), 20 (plasmonic structures of Prof. Guimarães) and 3D (magneto-optical traps of Prof. Kaiser). The dimensionality of the system is a crit…
This proposal aims at turning quantum sensor technology into reality. Ahead of the anticipated quantum revolution in commercial applications, the proposal will set up a research consortium working on two specific areas of research: (i) Analysis and implementation of new ideas for quantum sensors based on cold atoms interacting with optical cavities and investigations for the first dual-us…
We will develop a microscopic model to describe the scattering of light by atoms in optical lattices. The model has been already shown to efficiently capture Bragg scattering, spontaneous emission and 1D photonic band gaps (PBG). Starting from preliminary results obtained in one-dimensional optical lattice, we intend to investigate photonic band gaps in 3D optical lattices with different …

Today's most accurate inertial sensors are based on atomic interferometry. The objective of this project is to study, theoretically and experimentally, schemes of collective interaction between cold atoms and light in optical cavities in view of creating non-trivial collective spin states. We will investigate the potential of weakly entangled spin-squeezed states for improved quantum sens…
The thematic project addresses the construction of a sensor that can simultaneously be used as a standard for optical frequencies and gravimetry. Conventional standards consist in a laser oscillator locked to an ultra-stable optical cavity through a fast electronic servo using the Pound-Drever-Hall technique, which offers a good short-term stability. The accuracy and reproducibility of th…
Gravity sensors are indispensable devices for numerous applications in industry as well as in fundamental research. A particularly attractive technique translates the force of gravitational acceleration in a frequency measurement of Bloch oscillations of laser-cooled atoms confined in a stationary vertical light wave. In modern gravimeters oscillations are measured via the state of the at…

The objective of this research project is to study the eminent role that optical cavities can play in the emergence of collective effects and quantum correlations in atomic many-body systems. Superradiant enhancement of the decay of ultranarrow clock transitions in atoms resonantly driven inside optical cavities will provide next generation atomic clocks with orders of magnitude higher pr…
