Phys. Rev. Lett. 64, 2499–2502 (1990)Vacuum Rabi splitting as a feature of linear-dispersion theory: Analysis and experimental observationsReceived 7 February 1990; published in the issue dated 21 May 1990 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. © 1990 The American Physical Society URL:
