TL;DR: It is demonstrated that stimulated Brillouin scattering can be used to generate all-optical slow-light pulse delays of greater than a pulse length for pulses as short as 16 ns in a single-mode fiber, and strongly suggest that analogous delays can be achieved using stimulated Raman scattering at telecommunication data rates.

TL;DR: A new type of artificial nonlinear optical material composed of a one-dimensional metal-dielectric photonic crystal which displays a strongly enhanced non linear optical response (up to 12X) in transmission is described.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors observed both extremely slow and superluminal pulse propagation speeds at room temperature in an erbium-doped fiber (EDF) with varying powers of a 980 nm pump.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the fabrication and testing of an integrated optical whispering gallery mode resonator designed for use as an evanescent field environmental sensor and demonstrate the ability of these devices to monitor protein layers binding to the surface.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrated that stimulated Brillouin scattering can be used to generate all-optical slow-light pulse delays of greater than a pulse length for pulses as short as 16 ns in a singlemode fiber.
