Optimal Spatial Mode Distributions for the Coupling of a Single Photon to an Atomic Dipole Transition in Free Space

Not Accessible

Abstract

In recent years there has been an increasing interest in achieving efficient coupling of a single photon to a single atom in free space. Independent of the particular application at hand, optimizing the efficiency of the coupling is tantamount to maximizing the electric field component parallel to the dipole moment of the specific atomic transition. In this contribution we present the field distributions which achieve this maximization for several optical focusing devices.
