Description

Using the bosonic exciton approximation, we show that there exists electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in an organic quantum well which includes the interaction of charge-transfer excitons and phonons. The numerical results indicate that the strong exciton-phonon interaction plays a key role in the generation of the EIT. Without the exciton-phonon coupling, the EIT will disappear immediately. Ultraslow light effects are also discussed in this system. (author). Letter-to-the-editor
