We propose a scheme of storage of intense pulses that allows a significant reduction of the storage length with respect to standard schemes. This scheme is particularly adapted to store optical information in media with fast relaxations.

Possibility to store optical information in media with fast relaxations is studied in case of arbitrary intensities of probe and control pulses. Analytical solution of the self-consistent system of equations for propagation and density matrix is obtained with allowance for the first non-stationary corrections. A new scheme of storage is proposed which allows an essential reduction of the optical length needed for storage.

We have found that storage and retrieval of optical pulses in fast-light and slow-light atomic media with ground-state Zeeman coherence are surprisingly similar despite different optical properties.
