Slowdown of group velocity of light pulse in erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier under no absorption loss at a room temperature

Qiu Wei, Ma Ying-Chi, L uuml Pin +3 more

Because of the absorption of erbium-doped optical fiber, the group velocity of the optical pulse propagation is slowed down and the intensity of signal is reduced, which brings more difficulties to the actual measurement of slow light and its application in communications, such as the distortion and the low measurement.Therefore only after the group velocity slowdown of light pulse in erbium-doped optical fiber under no absorption loss is realized, can the slow light technology really have the practical application. We investigate the erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier deeply and develop a technology, in which the different pump powers and fiber lengths are used to reduce the signal loss through theoretical calculation and realize the group velocity slowdown of light pulse. The results show that no absorption loss is realized at a pump power of 3.5 mW, and we realize the slow light with a fiber length of 0.1 m when the pump power is zero.

Pulse-width-dependent subluminal and superluminal propagation in highly doped erbium fibers

Francisco Arrieta-Yáñez, E. Cabrera, José Miguel Ezquerro +2 more

We experimentally and theoretically study the propagation of a 1536 nm light pulse superposed on a continuous wave background in a highly doped erbium fiber pumped at 977 nm. We observe a transition from subluminal to superluminal propagation with the pulse bandwidth. Furthermore, an improvement of the pulse delay and pulse distortion when increasing the pulse peak and keeping constant the background power is reported. These results are due to the relation between the pump-broadened transparency hole (induced by the coherent population oscillations) and the competition between gain and absorption along the fiber.

Fast and slow light propagation in Erbium-doped fiber

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

We demonstrate pump-power-tunable slow and superluminal pulse propagation at room temperature in an erbium-doped fiber amplifier. Signal pulses at 1550 nm were sent through an EDF with various pump intensities, obtaining signal group velocities as slow as 19,000 m/s and as fast as -16,000 m/s.
