"Nonlinear refraction in atomic gases"

Quantum coherence effects such as electromagnetically induced transparency can be used for a multitude of linear and nonlinear optics. Based on this, I will introduce "electromagnetically induced chirality" and its use for gaining negative refraction without absorption such as was suggested for construction of a so-called "superlens" by others.
