Reconfigurable Photonic Lattices Based on Atomic Coherence by Jiaqi Yuan, Shun Liang, Qingsong Yu, Changbiao Li, Yanpeng Zhang, Min Xiao, Zhaoyang Zhang

“…Recently, the concept of electromagnetically induced photonic lattice (EIPL) is proposed under the well‐known electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in coherently prepared multilevel alkali‐metal atomic systems, where the strong coupling beams producing EIT possess spatially periodic intensity profiles. The inherited instantaneous tunability of susceptibility from EIT‐modulated atomic coherence allows for the easy reconfigurability of EIPLs, which gives rise to exotic beam dynamics under such a readily controllable framework. …”
