Our main current research topics are:

Cooperative scattering

When a photon is sent onto an atomic ensemble, it interacts collectively with the N atoms of the cloud and not simply with one of them. This results in measurable modifications in the scattering rate, the emission diagram or the temporal dynamics. We study these cooperative effects experimentally and theoretically. Recently, remarkable results have been obtained, in particular the direct observation of subradiance and superradiance in the linear-optics regime. This research topic is currently funded by the ANR project QuaCor, the QUANTERA project PACE-IN, and the EU project ColOpt.

Fluctuations and correlations of light: from atoms to stars

We study the fluctuations and correlations of light after interaction with cold or hot atomic vapors, either after transmission through the atoms, or after scattering by the atoms, in the single and multiple scattering regimes. We also collaborate with astrophysicists of the Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur to work towards the revival of intensity interferometry (Hanbury Brown and Twiss technique) with modern photonic technologies. This research topic is currently funded by the ANR project QuaCor and the Région PACA project I2C.

Nonlinear optics: superfluid light and self-organization

Atomic vapors have strong optical nonlinearities that we use in experiments with hot or cold vapors. In the latter case, the mechanical aspect plays also a role, with the spontaneous formation of atomic-density patterns. This research topic is currently funded by the EU projects ColOpt and PhoQus.

Localization of light

When a wave propagates in a strongly disordered medium, it is predicted that above a certain level of disorder, interference effects completely block the wave diffusion. This so-called Anerderson localization has never been clealy observed for light. We have been studing, at a theoretical level, if and how a cold-atom cloud could be an appropriate medium for observing this effect. We are now building a new cold-atom experiment in order to experimentaly observe this effect.This research topic is currently funded by the ERC project ANDLICA.

Light-induced long-range forces

We also study the mechanical action of light on cold atoms during the multiple-scattering process. For example, it can give rise to mechanical instabilities, which we studied experimentally and theoretically. Moreover, it gives a force that is long-range, like Coulombian and gravitational interactions. As a consequence, there are interesting analogies with plasma physics and gravitational systems. This research topic is currently funded by the EU project ColOpt.
