Phase control of spatial interference from two duplicated two-level atoms

Abstract

We report the phase control of spatial interference of resonance fluorescence from two duplicated two-level atoms, driving by two orthogonally polarized fields. In this closed-loop system, the relative phase is of crucial importance to the recovery of the interference patten in the fluorescence light even with strong driving.In order to improve the experimental realizability, we propose a scheme to recover the visibility with fixed relative phase by adjusting the relative intensities between the two driving fields or alternatively by using a standing-wave field.
