We study the optical properties of an ensemble of two-level atoms coupled to a 1D photonic crystal waveguide (PCW), which mediates long-range coherent dipole–dipole interactions between the atoms. We show that the long-range interactions can dramatically alter the linear and nonlinear optical behavi...
