Abstract

We demonstrate controlled polarization rotation of an optical field conditional on the presence of a second field. Induced rotations of greater than π/2 rad are seen with a transmission of 95%, corresponding to a ratio of phase shift to absorption of 40π. This combination of large, controlled rotation and low loss is well suited for the manipulation of light pulses.
