	abstract = {  We demonstrate experimentally a procedure to obtain the maximum efficiency
for the storage and retrieval of light pulses in atomic media. The procedure
uses time reversal to obtain optimal input signal pulse-shapes. Experimental
results in warm Rb vapor are in good agreement with theoretical predictions and
demonstrate a substantial improvement of efficiency. This optimization
procedure is applicable to a wide range of systems.
