Area of Science:

  • Quantum mechanics and condensed matter physics.
  • Photonics and wave phenomena.

Background:

  • The Klein paradox describes perfect tunneling of relativistic particles through potential barriers, explaining graphene's conductivity.
  • Previous studies explored this in atomic condensates, topological photonics, and phononics, but experimental angular dependence was lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To experimentally observe and measure the angular dependence of Klein tunneling in a 2D photonic system.
  • To investigate the effect of barrier height on Klein transmission.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized atomic vapor cells with paraxial beam propagation.
  • Employed electromagnetically induced transparency for index patterning.
  • Created a 2D photonic system analogous to graphene.

Main Results:

  • First experimental observation of perfect Klein transmission at normal incidence in a photonic graphene system.
  • Measured the angular dependence of Klein transmission.
  • Observed that increasing barrier height suppresses the decay of transmission with angle, aligning with Dirac equation predictions.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides the first experimental validation of Klein tunneling's angular dependence in a photonic analog.
  • The counterintuitive finding regarding barrier height's effect on transmission is crucial for understanding graphene's conductivity and related materials.
