| الوصف: | Manipulation of the refractive index has been of growing interest lately. We consider parameters and possibilities of enhancing the absolute-value limit of the linear index in coherent atomic systems. Starting with a review of how two-level transitions - without and with added coherence effects - do not realistically allow for a significantly enhanced index at fixed atomic density, we discuss a possible way around this using wave mixing. This confirms that the only parameters, besides the medium optical depth/density, that can effectively change the value of the attainable index are the frequencies of the involved transitions. Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures |
