Observation of the Sommerfeld Precursor

Heejeong Jeong, Andrew M. C. Dawes, Daniel J. Gauthier

Published Jan 1, 2005• 1 citation
Publisher

Abstract

We study the generation of optical precursors when a step-modulated optical pulse propagates through a linear resonant absorber. The Sommerfeld precursor is the dominant part of the transmitted field, and experiences essentially no absorption.

Observation of Optical Precursors with Electromagnetically Induced Transparency

Shengwang Du, J. F. Chen, Dong Wei +2 more

We generate Sommerfeld-Brillouin precursors from a square-modulated laser pulse through a cold atomic ensemble with electromagnetically induced transparency. At a high optical depth, the precursor forerunner is clearly separated from the delayed main pulse.
