Experimental demonstration of enhanced index of refraction via quantum coherence in Rb. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • We present a proof-of-principle experiment demonstrating a resonant enhancement of the index of refraction accompanied by vanishing absorption in a cell containing a coherently prepared Rb vapor. The results are in good agreement with detailed theoretical predictions. 1996 The American Physical Society.
