摘要: We study slow-light propagation dynamics in warm Rb vapor. present data showing significant pulse reshaping when the bandwidth of pulses is increased and a model that qualitatively explains observed behavior. Our modeling emphasize how Doppler broadening vapor strongly affects high-frequency components leads to unintuitive features on transmitted shapes. This has important consequences for applications involving delay large-bandwidth pulses.
