We experimentally demonstrate the heralded generation of bichromatic single photons from an atomic collective spin excitation (CSE). The photon arrival times display collective quantum beats, a novel interference effect resulting from the relative motion of atoms in the CSE. A combination of velocity-selective excitation with strong laser dressing and the addition of a magnetic field allows for exquisite control of this collective beat phenomenon. The present experiment uses a diamond scheme…

Modulation transfer signals for locking to the Rb87F=1→F'=2 repumping transition, as well as 1 GHz red-detuned to the cooling transition, are presented to demonstrate the versatility of this technique, which can readily be extended to the locking of Raman and lattice lasers.
