Abstract

Using intense electromagnetic fields, it is now possible to tailor the absorption, amplification, and dispersion properties of multi-level atoms.1 Dramatic examples include the reduction of the group velocity of a pulse of light to 17 m/s,2 and increasing the group velocity to values greater than c or even to negative values.3 The interpretation of a negative group velocity is that the peak of the pulse leaves the medium before it enters.
