Slow-light-induced interference with stacked optical precursors for square input pulses

H Jeong, S Du - Optics letters, 2010 - opg.optica.org
We theoretically study the stacked optical transients generated from a series of square
pulses passing through a cold atomic ensemble. Using the hybrid analysis and fast Fourier …

Stacked optical precursors from amplitude and phase modulations

JF Chen, H Jeong, L Feng, MMT Loy, GKL Wong, S Du - Physical review letters, 2010 - APS
We report the generation of stacked optical precursors from a laser beam whose amplitude
or phase is modulated by sequenced on-off step waveforms. Making use of the constructive …

Optical precursors with finite rise and fall time

JF Chen, MMT Loy, GKL Wong, S Du - Journal of Optics, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We report results of both theoretical and experimental studies of optical precursors
generated from a square-modulated probe laser pulse having a finite rise and fall time and …

Optical precursors with electromagnetically induced transparency in cold atoms

D Wei, JF Chen, MMT Loy, GKL Wong, S Du - Physical review letters, 2009 - APS
We report the observation of Sommerfeld-Brillouin optical precursors generated from a long
square-modulated laser pulse propagating through a cold atomic ensemble with …

Dynamics and interference of fine-structure wave packets created by strong ultrashort pulses

C Nicole, MA Bouchene, B Girard - Journal of Modern Optics, 2002 - Taylor & Francis
This work presents a theoretical study of two coherent schemes which allow the
manipulation of wave packets created in atomic systems by strong ultrashort pulses. Our …

Influence of propagation on the coherent accumulation of excitation induced by an ultrashort pulse train

AA Soares, LEE de Araujo - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and …, 2009 - APS
We study the effects of propagation through an extended sample of two-and three-level
atoms on the coherent accumulation of excitation by an ultrashort pulse train. In the two-level …

Optical coherent transients induced by time-delayed fluctuating pulses: Three-pulse transients

V Finkelstein, PR Berman - Physical Review A, 1990 - APS
A theoretical analysis of the optical coherent transients that arise when a sample of two-level
atoms is irradiated by a sequence of three broad-bandwidth pulses is presented. The first …

Coherent accumulation of excitation in the electromagnetically induced transparency of an ultrashort pulse train

AA Soares, LEE de Araujo - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and …, 2007 - APS
We investigate the excitation of an atomic degenerate-Λ system by a train of ultrashort
pulses. An iterative analytic solution to the optical Bloch equations is found describing the …

Slow light with a doublet structure: underlying physical processes and basic limitations

RN Shakhmuratov, J Odeurs - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and …, 2008 - APS
Slow light, produced in a medium with two widely spaced absorption resonances, is
analytically studied. We show that a pulse with frequency tuned in the middle of such a …

Stationary and quasistationary light pulses in three-level cold atomic systems

SA Moiseev, AI Sidorova, BS Ham - Physical Review A, 2014 - APS
We have studied stationary and quasistationary signal light pulses in cold Λ-type atomic
media driven by counterpropagating control laser fields at the condition of …
