Figure 5. Release of the trapped light with a second light pulse.

Figure 5

Electric field as a function of time when the meta-atom is sequentially illuminated by two-light pulses. The collision of the second pulse with the meta-atom (sharp peak in the plots) releases the trapped light ‘bit', except when the frequency of oscillation of the second pulse satisfies ω2=ωp. The dotted line represents the decay rate for the equivalent linear case.
