Dispersionless subradiant photon storage in one-dimensional emitter chains
Marcel Cech, Igor Lesanovsky, Beatriz Olmos · Physical Review A · 2023
Exploiting the collective coupling of emitters to the radiation field, the authors present two pathways for the long-time (subradiant) storage of a single photon in a one-dimensional geometry. They provide evidence of dispersionless photon storage for hundreds of times longer than the single emitter lifetime and discuss its preparation and release.
