Coherent control of temporal pulse shaping by electromagnetically induced transparency
Roberto Buffa, Stefano Cavalieri, Marco V. Tognetti
We present the coherent control of the temporal shape of laser pulses obtained by exploiting the propagation dynamics of electromagnetically induced transparency. Temporal compression, as a special case of pulse tailoring, is discussed. We envisage applications in nonlinear optics processes and control of pulse shapes in the vacuum ultraviolet spectral region.
