Comment on "Rotary Photon Drag Enhanced by a Slow-Light Medium [1]"

Adrian C. Selden

Published Jan 16, 2012• 0 citations

Abstract

The observations reported by Franke-Arnold et al (SCIENCE Reports, 1 July 2011 p. 65) do not provide evidence of slow light enhanced rotary photon drag as claimed, but arise from well-known saturable absorption phenomena consistent with the use of a spectrally broad light source, as described in their theoretical analysis (supporting online material)

The phenomenon of self-pumped slow light, where a single beam appears to be slowed by a solid-state media, is both subtle and controversial. Here, we reply to a comment on our recent work, which uses an observation of enhanced photon drag to distinguish between group delay and pulse reshaping.
