abstract
We suggest a technique for producing subfemtosecond pulses of radiation. The technique is based on using electromagnetically induced transparency to produce a strongly driven molecular coherence. This coherence results in a Raman spectrum with Bessel function amplitudes and phases corresponding to a frequency modulated signal, thereby allowing compression by the group velocity dispersion of the same medium. 1998 The American Physical Society.
