Phys. Rev. A 67, 053807 (2003) [4 pages]Light storage with light of arbitrary polarizationReceived 20 December 2002; published 27 May 2003 We have demonstrated the phase coherence of stored light in Rb vapor with a completely optical technique. Combining this technique with polarization measurements provides strong evidence that arbitrary polarizations can be stored. The fidelity obtained exceeds 95% for all polarizations. We view the capability to store polarizations as a first step towards building a quantum memory in such a system. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
