The ubiquitous role of optical fibres in modern photonic systems has stimulated research to
realize slow and fast light devices directly in this close-to-perfect transmission line. Recent …

I consider the physical basics of slow light propagation in atomic media, photonic structures,
and optical fibers. I show similarities and differences between all of the above media and …

One of the Top Selling Physics Books according to YBP Library Services The exotic effects
of slow light have been widely observed in the laboratory. However, current literature fails to …

The nature of pulse propagation through a material with a negative value of the group
velocity has been mysterious, as simple models seem to predict that pulses will propagate …

We review progress in the development of methods for controlling the group velocity of light.
These methods allow one to create situations in which the group velocity of light is much …

Transmission through a spinning window slightly rotates the polarization of the light, typically
by a microradian. It has been predicted that the same mechanism should also rotate an …

We describe a new type of Fourier transform (FT) interferometer in which the tunable optical
delay between the two arms is realized by using a continuously variable slow-light medium …

We report superluminal propagation in optical fibers using Brillouin lasing oscillation in a
ring cavity. Negative group velocity propagation through a 10-m single mode fiber has been …

Gain dynamics and refractive index changes in fiber amplifiers are important in many areas.
For example, the knowledge of the frequency responses for seed and pump power …

Atomic media have played a major role in studies of fast light. One of their attractive features
is the ability to manipulate experimental parameters to control the dispersive properties that …
