Studies of Electromagnetically Induced Transparency and Its Relation to Nonlinear Optics

Abstract

This report summarizes our work on the use of electromagnetically induced transparency to make new types of optical devices. Key accomplishments during this program period include the generation of the first single-cycle optical pulse and the development of a radiation source with four octaves of bandwidth. In a second area of work we have demonstrated nonlinear optical processes at the lowest photon flux ever used.
