Catch And Release Of Photons

I'm always amazed by the nature of these experiments, and continue to be awed by what have been accomplished.

Two different groups published two different papers in this week's PRL, all reporting on the ability to store photons and then releasing them. What is even fascinating is that each group used different schemes to accomplish the same thing. I already reported on one of these results earlier. So check out the first link for a review of these two experiments, and you also get a link to free access to both papers.
