Achievements in slow and fast light in optical fibres

Luc Thévenaz A

The ubiquitous role occupied by optical fibres in modern photonic systems has steadily stimulated research to realize slow and fast light devices directly in this close-to-perfect transmission line. This potentially offers the key advantage of a direct and flexible integration in most existing optical systems. The recent progress in the realization of optically-controlled delays in optical fibres, under normal environmental conditions and in the high-transparency spectral region, has paved the way towards real applications based on slow and fast light. This presentation shows the state-of-the-art research in this fascinating field and the possible outcomes in the near future.

Applications of Slow Light for Telecommunications and Quantum Information

Robert W. Boyd

Procedures developed in recent years allow the group velocity of propagation of light through material systems to be lowered in a significant and controllable manner. This ability to control the velocity of light leads to a variety of important applications in fields such as telecommunications and quantum information. Some of the advances in methods that lead to this slow-down and progress toward developing applications are reviewed in the present work.
