Abstract

A scheme of atom localization based on controlled spontaneous emission is proposed, in which the atom is embedded in a coupled cavity waveguide with two orthogonal standing-wave fields. We can achieve high-precision and high-resolution atom localization by properly adjusting the system parameters. It is shown that the localization is significantly improved due to the strong coupling effect between the atom and a coupled cavity waveguide.
