Abstract

The coupling of atomic arrays and one-dimensional subwavelength waveguides gives rise to interesting photon transport properties, such as recent experimental demonstrations of large Bragg reflection, and paves the way for a variety of potential applications in the field of quantum nonlinear optics. Here, we present a theoretical analysis for the process of single-photon scattering in this configuration using a full microscopic approach. Based on this formalism, we analyze the spectral dependencies for different scattering channels from either ordered or disordered arrays. The developed approach is entirely applicable for a single-photon scattering from a quasi-one-dimensional array of multilevel atoms with degenerate ground-state energy structure. Our approach provides an important framework for including not only Rayleigh but also Raman channels in the microscopic description of the cooperative scattering process.
