Controlling diffraction with photon polarization in atomic gratings
Researchers propose an atomic grating that utilizes Rydberg interactions to control diffraction based on incident photon polarization states. Multiple polarization-dependent diffraction modes are generated without crosstalk. Dynamic optical pulses switch between modes by triggering Rydberg blockade effects in rubidium-87 atoms.
