Experimental study of light storage in Rb vapor

POSTER

Abstract

We study the propagation and storage of weak optical pulses in warm Rb vapor under conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). We investigate the effects of various experimental parameters (such as buffer gas pressure, atomic density, etc.) on storage time and fidelity.
