Abstract

It is well known that quantum coherence and interference are important mechanisms in tailoring optical properties of atoms and molecules. Examples are the enhancement of the index of refraction, large optical Kerr nonlinearities, and the cancellation of absorption. Nonlinear media provide a variety of new applications, such as ultra-slowing of light propagation, superluminal light propagation, ultra-sensitive magnetometer or high-finesse broadband optical cavities.
