Towards a Realistic Model for Cavity-Enhanced Atomic Frequency Comb Quantum Memories

We develop a theoretical model for cavity-enhanced atomic frequency comb (AFC) quantum memory that includes the effects of dispersion and show a close alignment of the model with our own experimental results. Our model is a step forward to accurately estimating the created comb properties, such as the optical depth inside the cavity, and so being able to make precise predictions of the performance of the prepared cavity-enhanced AFC quantum memory.
