Instantaneous processing of "slow light": amplitude-duration control, storage, and splitting
arXiv:quant-ph/0703250 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.76.031802
Abstract
Nonadiabatic change of the control field or of the low-frequency coherence allows for an almost instantaneous change of the signal field propagating in a thick resonant absorber where electromagnetically induced transparency is realized. This finding is applied for the storage and retrieval of the signal, for the creation of a signal copy and separation of this copy from the original pulse without its destruction.
