Alchemy with light shocks physicists (newscientist.com) -- "Researchers document the ultimate control over light: a way to shift the frequency of light beams to any desired colour, with near 100 per cent efficiency."
American Institute of Physics Bulletin of Physics News Number 476 (Story #1), March 24, 2000 by Phillip F. Schewe and Ben Stein - New material creates a reverse Doppler effect and negative-mu and epsilon optical characteristics.
Braided Light (Phillip F. Schewe and Ben Stein)
Hall Effect -- Fractional quanta! This goes well with Nobel Prize winner Dehmelt and his refutation of Heisenberg Uncertainty. (On that topic, I've recently discovered that the Schwartz Inequality has problems. [Pretty basic stuff.] We are way out of the college texts here!). Here is an excerpt from the Hall Effect website.
Jack Feinberg -- Professor Feinberg has recently demonstrated:
(1) Seeing through a scattering medium (a chicken) [!]
using time-reversed light,
(2) Transforming an ordinary optical fiber into a frequency
doubler to produce green light from infrared light, and
(3) Coaxing a diffraction-limited output beam from a powerful
semiconductor laser array.
Light Slowed to 17 Meters/Second - AIP Bulletin of Physics News (Schewe & Stein) -- Also appeared in Nature, 18 February 1999. Hau and colleagues "... also observed unprecedentedly large intensity-dependent light transmission. Such an extreme nonlinear effect can perhaps be used in a number of opto-electronic components (switches, memory, delay lines) and in converting light from one wavelength to another."
NIST/JILA (archive) -- Self-Induced Transparency has been used with laser beams passing through a Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) of sodium atoms to increase the Refractive Index and slow the Speed of Light to 17 meters/second in this Harvard experiment reported by Lene Vestergaard Hau, et al.
