Slow Light Propagation in a Thin Optical Fiber via Electromagnetically Induced Transparency
We propose a novel configuration that utilizes electromagnetically induced
transparency (EIT) to tailor a fiber mode propagating inside a thin optical
fiber and coherently control its dispersion properties to drastically reduce
the group velocity of the fiber mode. The key to this proposal is: the
evanescent-like field of the thin fiber strongly couples with the surrounding
active medium, so that the EIT condition is met by the medium. We show how the
properties of the fiber mode is modified due to the EIT medium, both
numerically and analytically. We demonstrate that the group velocity of the new
modified fiber mode can be drastically reduced (approximately 44 m/sec) using
the coherently prepared orthohydrogen doped in a matrix of parahydrogen crystal
as the EIT medium.Comment: 10 pages in two column RevTex4, 6 Figure
Intuition: Myth or a Decision-making Tool?
Faced with today’s ill-structured business environment of fast-paced change and rising uncertainty, organizations have been searching for management tools that will perform satisfactorily under such ambiguous conditions. In the arena of managerial decision making, one of the approaches being assessed is the use of intuition. Based on our definition of intuition as a non-sequential information-processing mode, which comprises both cognitive and affective elements and results in direct knowing without any use of conscious reasoning, we develop a testable model of integrated analytical and intuitive decision making and propose ways to measure the use of intuition
