光波位相耦合色散效应与固态介质中室温下的光速调控

文章介绍了作者利用光波位相耦合的色散效应调控光速的新机制，并利用光折变位相耦合的色散效应在室温下在Bi12SO20晶体中实现极慢光速和超光速现象．进一步的研究表明，在Bi12SO20晶体中传播的、由位相耦合色散效应引起的慢光和快光由于光折变光强耦合效应而得到了相干放大．     

Group Velocity Reduction of Light Pulses in Photorefractive Two-Wave Mixing

We show theoretically that the group velocity of light pulses can be reduced significantly by use of the steep dispersion properties of the phase coupling effect in the photorefractive two-wave mixing process. The group velocity of light pulses of the order of 0.1 m/s can be achieved in typical photorefractive BSO crystals with an appropriate externally applied electric field and moving gratings of appropriate speeds. It is also shown that the slowly propagating light pulses can be set to be amplified after passing through the photorefractive material.
