Abstract
Atoms in the coherent superposition state prepared by a pulse pair are used as a novel optical memory material where a single interrogation pulse will produce a new pulse pair preserving the relative amplitudes and phases of the preparing pulse pair. Such a coherent superposition state can also be s pecially tailored along the propagation path to generate Raman scattering i n a relatively short distance with very high efficiency.
