Abstract:
Using a strong field, the collinear propagation of two weak sidebands was studied in Raman
medium in a strong field. The superposition of the sideband fields propagated freely in the medium at the
vacuum speed of light. The coupled normal mode determined the effective frequency governing the
coherence of the medium. A slow group velocity of light was obtained in far-off-resonance Raman medium
for a small effective two-photon detuning.
