Refractive index enhancement in a far-off resonant atomic system.
We demonstrate a scheme where a laser beam which is very far detuned from an atomic resonance experiences a large index of refraction with vanishing absorption. The essential idea is to excite two Raman resonances with appropriately chosen strong control lasers.
