Abstract

Using a single-channel active Raman gain medium, we show a  220±20ns  advance time for an optical pulse of  τ FWHM =15.4 μ s  propagating through a  10cm  medium, a lead time that is comparable to what was reported previously using a two-mode pump field. In addition, we have verified experimentally all the features associated with this single-channel Raman gain system.
