Abstract

The spectral and temporal response of an optical cavity resonantly coupled to an ensemble of barium atoms has been investigated experimentally. The empty-cavity trnasmission resonances are found to split in the presence of the atoms and; under these conditions; the cavity’s temporal response is found to be oscillatory. These effects may be viewed as a manifestation of a vacuum-field Rabi splitting; or as a simple consequence of the linear absorption and dispersion of the intracavity atoms.
