Theoretical study of fast light with short sech pulses in coherent gain media

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We investigate theoretically the phenomenon of so-called fast light in an unconventional regime, using pulses sufficiently short that relaxation effects in a gain medium can be ignored completely. We show that previously recognized gain instabilities, including superfluorescence, can be tolerated in achieving a pulse peak advance of more than one full peak width.
