Governing the speed of a light signal in optical fibers : Brillouin slow and fast light

Sang Hoon Chin

Dynamic control of the speed of a light signal, based on stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fibers, was theoretically studied and also experimentally demonstrated as the core object of this thesis. To date, slow light based on stimulated Brillouin ...

Complete compensation of pulse broadening in an amplifier-based slow light system using a nonlinear regeneration element

Luc Thévenaz, Sang Hoon Chin

We experimentally demonstrate complete compensation of pulse broadening in an amplifier-based slow light system. The configuration of the delay line basically consists of two stages: a conventional Brillouin slow light system and a nonlinear regeneration e ...
