Phys. Rev. A 72, 053803 (2005) [4 pages]Manipulating the retrieved width of stored light pulsesReceived 1 August 2005; published 2 November 2005 We have systematically studied the method proposed by Patnaik et al. Phys. Rev. A 69 035803 (2004)] that manipulates the retrieval of stored light pulses. The measured probe pulse width of the retrieval is inversely proportional to the intensity of the reading field. We also show that the method does not introduce any phase shift or jump into the retrieved pulses. Our study demonstrates that the distortion at the output of the light storage can be corrected by manipulating the retrieval process and the phase information of the stored pulses can remain intact during the process. © 2005 The American Physical Society URL:
