- Abstract: In this paper, we begin with a model of a $\Lambda$-type atom whose both
transitions are chirally coupled to a waveguide and then extend the model to
its giant-atom version. We investigate the single-photon scatterings of the
giant-atom model in both the Markovian and non-Markovian regimes. It is shown
that the chiral atom-waveguide couplings enable nonreciprocal, reflectionless,
and efficient frequency conversion, while the giant-atom structure introduces
intriguing interference effects to the scattering behaviors, such as
ultra-narrow scattering windows. The chiral giant-atom model exhibits quite
different scattering spectra in the two regimes and, in particular,
demonstrates non-Markovicity induced nonreciprocity under specific conditions.
These phenomena can be understood from the effective detuning and decay rate of
the giant-atom model. Our results have potential applications in integrated
photonics and quantum network engineering.

We consider an ensemble of Alkali atoms that are continuously optically pumped and probed.
Due to the collective scattering of photons at large optical depth, the steady state of atoms does not correspond to an uncorrelated tensor-product state.
We find and characterize regimes of Raman lasing, akin to the model of a superradiant laser.
