There is an extraordinary paper by Ulf Leonhardt: http://uk.arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0408046

that has some major implications on measuring devise's.

I can see stright away that there will be a "Mono-LISA" type of devise that could theoretically allow an Earth based "measure", medium of a precise nature that defy's belief!

Amazing when Ulf's past interests have been in the development of 'Lab-Blackhole' creation mediums.

Actually the LISA workers should be delving into this kind of soliton polarization (Polar-tron? my wording sorry! ), there is a recent paper regarding LISA , with a TDI (Time, Delay,.. or something?).
 
Yes, there are some other works on the slow light soliton, delay and stopping of slow light solitons, and manipulation of slow-light solitons. If you are interested you can take a look at the website http://www.slowlight.org and in the following paper:
"Theory of slow-light solitons" http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0504096
 
Show me some more websites. I like this topic very much.
 
I mean some basics of slowing or stoping light.

Yes indeed..many thanks I am very interested in this, again I thank you.

Thank you, Soliton. I like this paper a lot. I think that Rybin, Vadeiko and Bishop have done amazing work on slow-light solitons. I especially like their exact result. It seems that one can actually stop the slow-light soliton by turning off the controlling laser with exponential rate. This is a rare case when an exact solution is really relevant.
The picture in the paper with two beams and a dark break-up area between them on a "Black Square" is really something! By the way, there is a paper by M.D. Lukin in Rev. Mod. Phys. where EXPERIMENTAL picture is exactly the same!
 
One of my friend says women as artificial intellegence. When I told him about this discovery by Dr. Lene Hau, he exclaimed with joy and said that it is a great achievement by the artificial intellegence.
