Phys. Rev. A 81, 023807 (2010) [4 pages]Temporal pulse compression and retardation by incoherent all-optical controlReceived 13 November 2009; published 8 February 2010 We present a theoretical analysis of a new scheme for temporal retardation combined with temporal compression of weak laser pulses, optically controlled by the presence of one additional light pulse. A realistic realization of this scheme in hot Rb is discussed, showing that a large range of values of the optically controllable delay-bandwidth product can be obtained with a limited pulse distortion. © 2010 The American Physical Society URL:
