We show that the propagation of light in a Doppler broadened medium can be slowed down considerably eventhough such medium exhibits very flat dispersion. The slowing down is achieved by the application of a saturating counter propagating beam that produces a hole in the inhomogeneous line shape. In atomic vapors, we calculate group indices of the order of 10. The calculations include all cohere...
متن کاملDynamics of slow light and light storage in a Doppler-broadened electromagnetically-induced-transparency medium: A numerical approach
We present a numerical scheme to study the dynamics of slow light and light storage in an electromagneticallyinduced-transparency (EIT) medium at finite temperatures. Allowing for the motional coupling, we derive a set of coupled Schrödinger equations describing a boosted closed three-level EIT system according to the principle of Galilean relativity. The dynamics of a uniformly moving EIT medi...
متن کاملThe optical autler-townes effect in doppler-broadened three-level systems
2014 Some features of the optical Autler-Townes effect as observed in Doppler-broadened three-level systems, including the physical significance of the observed line splitting, the conditions for the observation of the doublet, the doublet separation and the detuning effects, are discussed in this paper. A graphical illustration of the phenomenon, based on a search for on-resonance velocity gro...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of EIT-Based Slow Light in the Doppler-Broadened Atomic Media of the Rubidium D2 Line
Quantum coherence and interference effects (Scully & Zubairy, 1997) in atomic systems have attracted great attention in the last two decades. With quantum coherence, the absorption and dispersion properties of an optical medium can be extremely modified, and can lead to many important effects such as coherent population trapping (CPT) (Arimondo & Orriols, 1976; Alzetta et al., 1976; Gray et al....
متن کاملLow-light-level nonlinear optics with slow light
Electromagnetically induced transparency in an optically thick, cold medium creates a unique system where pulse-propagation velocities may be orders of magnitude less than c and optical nonlinearities become exceedingly large. As a result, nonlinear processes may be efficient at low-light levels. Using an atomic system with three, independent channels, we demonstrate a quantum interference swit...
