Abstract

We investigate the coupled dynamics of light and cold atoms in a unidirectional ring cavity, in the regime of low saturation and linear single-atom response. As the dispersive opto-mechanical coupling between light and the motional degrees of freedom of the atoms makes the dynamics nonlinear, we ﬁnd that localized, nonlinearity-sustained and bistable
structures can be encoded in the atomic density by means of appropriate control beams
