Slow Light amplification in a non-inverted gain medium
– We investigate the propagation of a coherent probe light pulse through a threelevel atomic medium (in the Λ–configuration) in the presence of a pump laser under the conditions for gain without inversion. When the carrier frequency of the probe pulse and the pump laser are in a Raman configuration, we show that it is possible to amplify a slow propagating pulse. We also analyze the regime in w...
متن کاملPhoton lifetime in a cavity containing a slow-light medium.
We investigate experimentally the lifetime of the photons in a cavity containing a medium exhibiting strong positive dispersion. This intracavity positive dispersion is provided by a metastable helium gas at room temperature in the electromagnetically induced transparency regime, in which light propagates at a group velocity of the order of 10⁴ m·s⁻¹. The results definitely prove that the lifet...
متن کاملOvercoming gain-bandwidth product constraint in slow light Raman amplification with the use of light-stopping schemes
We show that a light-stopping system with Raman amplification can overcome the gain-bandwidth constraint of slow light Raman amplification systems. The gain scales linearly with the time the pulse spends in the stopped state and is thus much larger than the gain experienced in a slow light system of the same length and operating bandwidth. We present a theoretical analysis of Raman amplificatio...
متن کاملPreservation of energy-time entanglement in a slow light medium.
We demonstrate the preservation of entanglement of an energy-time entangled biphoton through a slow light medium. Using the D(1) and D(2) fine structure resonances of Rubidium, we delay one photon of the 1.5 THz biphoton by approximately 1.3 correlation lengths and measure the fourth order correlation fringes. After the group delay the fringe visibility is reduced from 97.0+/-4.4% to 80.0+/-4.8...
متن کاملRotary photon drag enhanced by a slow-light medium.
Transmission through a spinning window slightly rotates the polarization of the light, typically by a microradian. It has been predicted that the same mechanism should also rotate an image. Because this rotary photon drag has a contribution that is inversely proportional to the group velocity, the image rotation is expected to increase in a slow-light medium. Using a ruby window under condition...
