Slow light in semiconductor quantum wells

Opt Lett. 2004 Oct 1;29(19):2291-3. doi: 10.1364/ol.29.002291.

Abstract

We demonstrate slow light via population oscillation in semiconductor quantum-well structures for the first time. A group velocity as low as 9600 m/s is inferred from the experimentally measured dispersive characteristics. The transparency window exhibits a bandwidth as large as 2 GHz.
