Optical gain and refractive index manipulation in coherently prepared atomic systems
Author :
Streater, Alan D. ; Kleinfeld, Jeffrey A.
Abstract :
We discuss theoretical and experimental investigations of gain phenomena and refractive index control in atomic systems due to coherences induced by a pump laser. Experimental results in potassium vapor are compared with 3-level and 4-level models.
