Abstract

The group velocity of optical pulse in an amplifier in the presence of population oscillations was studied both theoretically and experimentally. The superluminal propagation of harmonically modulated light was measured in a diode-pumped Nd:YVO4crystal.

The group velocity of an optical pulse in an optical amplifier in the presence of population oscillations was studied both theoretically and experimentally. The superluminal propagation of harmonically modulated light was measured in a diode-pumped Nd:YVO4 crystal. The resonant phase shift was found to have resonance at the frequency of population relaxation.

Superluminal and slow light propagation in cold atoms

Hoonsoo Kang, Gessler Hernandez, Yifu Zhu

The group velocity of a light pulse propagating through a four-level system exhibiting electromagnetically induced transparency can be manipulated by a pump laser. The pump laser induces the large optical nonlinearities with steep normal or anomalous dispersion. We present experimental measurements that demonstrate both slow and superluminal light propagation in cold Rb atoms.

Slow and fast light propagation in erbium-doped fiber

Nikolay N. Lepeshkin, Aaron Schweinsberg, Matthew S. Bigelow +2 more

We study propagation of light pulses and modulation in an Er-doped fiber in the regimes of anomalously slow and superluminal group velocities. The pulses experience either delay or advancement depending on the pump power.

Ultra-slow and superluminal light propagation in solids at room temperature

Matthew S. Bigelow, Nikolay N. Lepeshkin, Robert W. Boyd

Slow and superluminal group velocities can be observed in any material that has large normal or anomalous dispersion. While this fact has been known for more than a century, recent experiments have shown that the dispersion can be very large without dramatically deforming a pulse. As a result, the significance and nature of pulse velocity is being reevaluated. In this review, we discuss some of the current techniques used for generating ultra-slow, superluminal, and even stopped light. While ultra-slow and superluminal group velocities have been observed in complicated systems, from an applications point of view it is highly desirable to do have this done in a solid that can operate at room temperature. We describe how coherent population oscillations can produce ultra-slow and superluminal light under these conditions.

Optical pulse propagation at abnormal group velocities through transparent inverted-population media

Eric L. Bolda, R. Y. Chiao, J. C. Garrison

We show that, in a medium with an inverted population, waves with frequencies outside the gain band will propagate with abnormal (i.e. superluminal or negative) group velocities.
