Enhancing the sensitivity of interferometer by the way of slow light

Yong Zhao, He Huang, Qi Wang +1 more

Recent years, the technology of slow light generations and applications are becoming hot topics, including data buffering in optical communications and optical signal delay. In this paper, we propose the application of slow light in the field of optical sensor and illustrate several principles and structures to enhance the sensitivity of interferometers based on slow light. According to the experiment results, the sensitivity of the interferometers enhance 600 times at most; however, the sensitivity can enhance 107 times in theory; moreover, the volume of the interferometer can be reduced. The miniaturization and precision devices must be applied and researched deeply in the field of sensor and measurement technology.

Slow Light Gap Solitons

Joe T. Mok

Book Summary: The exotic effects of slow light have been widely observed in the laboratory. However, current literature fails to explore the wider field of slow light in photonic structures and optical fibers. Reflecting recent research, Slow Light: Science and Applications presents a comprehensive introduction to slow light and its potential applications, including storage, switching, DOD applications, and nonlinear optics. The book covers fundamentals of slow light in various media, including atomic media, semiconductors, fibers, and photonic structures. Leading authorities in such diverse fields as atomic vapor spectroscopy, fiber amplifiers, and integrated optics provide an interdisciplinary perspective. They uncover potential applications in both linear and nonlinear optics. While it is impossible to account for all the captivating developments that have occurred in the last few years, this book provides an exceptional survey of the current state of the slow light field.
