Description

A detail computational model is important in the construction and optimization of a slow-light gyroscope. Such a model needs to take into account many physical conditions such as Doppler broadening and cavity boundary conditions. As a result, the computational cost and resources for a full model can become very demanding even for today"s powerful computing capabilities. The proposed effort develops an efficient and reconfigurable computation algorithm for modeling the pulse propagation in an atomic medium on a desktop platform that performs 100 times or better than the convention method.
