Experimental demonstration of enhanced slow and fast light by forced coherent population oscillations in a SOA

Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate enhanced slow and fast light by forced coherent population oscillations (CPOs) in a SOA. This approach is shown to rely on the interference between two different contributions. This opens the possibility to conceive a controllable RF phase shifter based on this set-up.
