Observation of the transparency of a resonant medium to zero-degree optical pulses

Experiments are described in which low-intensity laser pulses of zero area [f:'m8(z, t) dt=O) are propagated through a degenerate resonantly absorbing medium with greatly reduced absorption. These pulses are constructed either electro-optically or by allowing a non-zerodegree pulse to evolve toward zero area by means of a resonant absorption and reradiation process. We observe the transmission of as much as 65% of the energy of such pulses through a resonant absorber which attenuates the same cw laser by e-GL , with OIL "" 20

Solstice: An Electronic Journal of Geography and Mathematics, Volume XV, Number 1

This document was delivered over the internet. The .zip file contains all static images, animated images, and text files.The purpose of Solstice is to promote interaction between geography and mathematics. Articles in which elements of one discipline are used to shed light on the other are particularly sought. Also welcome, are original contributions that are purely geographical or purely mathematical. These may be prefaced (by editor or author) with commentary suggesting directions that might lead toward the desired interaction. Contributed articles will be refereed by geographers and/or mathematicians. Invited articles will be screened by suitable members of the editorial board. IMaGe is open to having authors suggest, and furnish material for, new regular features.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/58254/2/sum04.ziphttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/58254/3/SolsticeVolXVNo1.pdfhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/58254/5/SolsticeVolXVNo1.pdfDescription of SolsticeVolXVNo1.pdf : Cover of JournalDescription of SolsticeVolXVNo1.pdf : Cover fil
