Understanding and Exploiting Slow Light
Zhimin Shi
The Institute of Optics, University of Rochester
Abstract：
The ability to control the group velocity of light has recently attracted a tremendous amount of attention from both fundamental and application perspectives. The field, often known as “slow light,” constitutes a broad class of science and technology that can dramatically change the group index of a medium over a certain wavelength range. In this talk, the origin and various fundamental aspects of slow light will be discussed with an emphasis on how understanding the underlying physics can lead to novel applications. Recent demonstrations of high-performance slow light in various platforms will be presented with applications on phased array laser radar, miniaturized spectrometers and image rotation.
