Abstract
We study optical pulse propagation through a hollow-core fiber filled with a radially inhomogeneous cloud of cold atoms. A copropagating control field establishes electromagnetically induced transparency. In analogy to a graded index fiber, the pulse experiences microlensing and the transmission spectrum becomes distorted. Based on a two-layer model of the complex index of refraction, we can analytically understand the cause of the aberration, which is corroborated by numerical simulations for a radial Gaussian-shaped function. With these insights, we show that the spectral distortions can be rectified by choosing an optimal detuning from one-photon resonance.
