In bilayer systems consisting of an ultrathin ferromagnetic layer adjacent to a metal with strong spin-orbit coupling, an applied in-plane current induces
We study electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and nonlinear pulse propagation in a resonant atomic gas confined in a micro-waveguide. We find that
