Turning light into a liquid via atomic coherence

Abstract

We study a four level atomic system with electromagnetically induced transparency with giant ${\chi }^{(3)}$ and ${\chi }^{(5)}$ susceptibilities of opposite signs. This system would allow to obtain multidimensional solitons and light condensates with surface tension properties analogous to those of usual liquids.
