Experimental Investigation of Optical Storage and Release in EIT Medium of ~(87)Rb Cold Atom

Abstract
Optical storage and release is achieved by using electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT) dynamics in cooled 87Rb atoms medium.The collapses and revivals of the released signal caused by Larmor precession is studied in the experiment.The results show the measured Larmor periods are in agreement with theoretical predictions when the provided magnetic field along quantization axis is over 100 mG,which provide the experimental foundation for quantum storage research in the future.
