Single-photon pulse propagation in and into a medium of two-level atoms: Microscopic Fresnel Equations

The propagation of an off-resonant, single-photon pulse in and into a medium of two-level atoms is considered. When the pulse is launched from within the medium, there are two propagation speeds, neither of which is the normal group velocity. For densities as small as 10(11) atoms/cm(3) and detuning...
