Coupling Thermal Atomic Vapor to Slot Waveguides

We study the interaction of thermal rubidium atoms with the guided mode of slot waveguides integrated in a vapor cell. Slot waveguides provide strong confinement of the light field in an area that overlaps with the atomic vapor. We investigate the transmission of the atomic cladding waveguides depen...
