Optimized pulse shaping in electromagnetically induced transparency slow light medium

Wenzhuo Tang, Bin Luo, Hong Mei Guo

Time delay and broadening of six isolated pulses are studied and experimentally demonstrated in electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) slow light medium. The optimal pulse for largest delay (smallest broadening) is amplitude-shaped by Single-Exponential (Cosine).

Phase variation and shape distortion of light pulses in electromagnetically induced transparency media

Yong‐Fan Chen, Yee-Mou Kao, Wei-Hsun Lin +1 more

We have experimentally studied the propagation behaviors of light pulses in an electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) medium. Both phase variation in different parts of a pulse and distortion of the pulse shape are observed. The consistency between the experimental data and theoretical predictions is satisfactory. Our study explains the physical origins of the phase variation and the shape distortion, shows that the phase variation should be taken into consideration in applications utilizing the EIT scheme in which two-photon detuning must exist, and provides better understanding of the propagation behavior of the slow light.

Electromagnetically induced transparency‐based slow and stored light in warm atoms

Irina V. Novikova, R. L. Walsworth, Yanhong Xiao

Abstract This paper reviews recent efforts to realize a high‐efficiency memory for optical pulses using slow and stored light based on electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in ensembles of warm atoms in vapor cells. After a brief summary of basic continuous‐wave and dynamic EIT properties, studies using weak classical signal pulses in optically dense coherent media are discussed, including optimization strategies for stored light efficiency and pulse‐shape control, and modification of EIT and slow/stored light spectral properties due to atomic motion. Quantum memory demonstrations using both single photons and pulses of squeezed light are then reviewed. Finally a brief comparison with other approaches is presented.
