Partially Nondestructive Continuous Detection of Individual Traveling Optical Photons

Partially Nondestructive Continuous Detection of Individual Traveling Optical Photons

We report the continuous and partially nondestructive measurement of optical photons. For a weak light pulse traveling through a slow-light optical medium (signal), the associated atomic-excitation component is detected by another light beam (probe) with the aid of an optical cavity. We observe stro...
