Cooperative Optical Non-Linearity in a Blockaded Rydberg Ensemble by Jonathan D. Pritchard.

This thesis describes the first demonstration of a cooperative optical non-linearity based on Rydberg excitation. Whereas in conventional non-linear optics the non-linearity arises directly from the interaction between light and matter, in a cooperative process it is mediated by dipole-dipole intera...
