Abstract
We demonstrate a fiber-optical switch that operates with a few hundred photons per switching pulse. The light-light interaction is mediated by laser-cooled
atoms. The required strong interaction between atoms and light is achieved by
simultaneously confining photons and atoms inside the microscopic hollow core
of a single-mode photonic-crystal fiber.
