    Abstract

    In this paper, we first present a full numerical simulation for the trapping and retrieval procedure of eight continuing “1” Guassian pulses (i.e., “11111111”) in the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) medium. This simulation shows that an EIT medium has the ability to store multiple light pulses in a shape-preserving way. And we also, for the first time, give the formula evaluating the maximum number of pulses that can be stored by an EIT medium at one time. This work reveals a new possible way to the reversible storage of the photonic information.
