dc.description.abstractStrong saturated absorption at nanowatt power levels has been demonstrated using metastable xenon in a high finesse optical cavity. This approach provides a relatively simple method for generating nonlinear optical effects, such as single-photon cross-phase modulation, without the need to trap atoms within a cavity. The use of metastable xenon allows a high quality factor of Q=2*10^8 to be achieved at relatively high atomic densities without any contamination or damage to the optical surfaces, which is often a problem when using high-density rubidium or other alkali atoms.en_US
