Transition of light propagation from slow light to superluminal light in a four-level system

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We offer a general treatment of electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT) in a four-level system consisting of a ladder-type system and a V-type system through which a two-coupling light generates two pairs of dressed states that help to improve susceptibility so that a much slower light speed can be achieved than with the standard V-type system. In particular, a method is shown to realize the transition of light propagation from slower-than-c to faster-c by means of the pump between two lower states.
