Subradiance in the emission of atoms coupled to an optical nanofiber

We investigate subradiance in the emission into an optical nanofiber of ultracold atoms trapped in a MOT surrounding the nanofiber. The atoms are coherently excited on resonance by a laser propagating orthogonally to the nanofiber. We present a classical random phase model which predicts subradiance and we also describe progress toward a quantum model which combines free space collective emission as described in Lehmberg, et. al [PRA 2 883] with the coupling to the nanofiber modes described by Le Kien, et. al [PRA 72 063815].
