Abstract

Optically tunable pulse delays in cesium vapor were demonstrated by pumping several D₂ transitions and burning holes in the D₁ absorption spectrum. A modified sub-Doppler absorption spectroscopy setup was used with counter propagating beams with a Gaussian 7-ns full-width at half-maximum probe pulse is scanned across the D₁ absorption spectrum. Probe laser optical delays followed Kramers-Kronig model prediction for Cs D₁ without D₂ pump laser. Optical control of pulse delay was demonstrated by varying pump intensity. Localized delay effects in agreement with model predictions were observed in the neighborhood of a burnt hole.
