摘要
The propagation in two dimensions of "optical" pulses in electromagnetically induced transparency media is analyzed. Results are presented for coupled Maxwell-Bloch equations with slowly varying envelope approximation, for both adiabatic and nonadiabatic situations. The possibility of changing the direction of the pulse by a switch of control beam direction is investigated in detail.
