In this paper, the authors describe a resonator-based optical gyroscope whose sensitivity for measuring absolute rotation is enhanced via use of the anomalous dispersion characteristic of superluminal light propagation.Abstract:
We describe a resonator-based optical gyroscope whose sensitivity for measuring absolute rotation is enhanced via use of the anomalous dispersion characteristic of superluminal light propagation. The enhancement is given by the inverse of the group index, saturating to a bound determined by the group velocity dispersion. We also show how the offsetting effect of the concomitant broadening of the resonator linewidth may be circumvented by using an active cavity. For realistic conditions, the enhancement factor is as high as ${10}^{6}$. We also show how normal dispersion used for slow light can enhance relative rotation sensing in a specially designed Sagnac interferometer, with the enhancement given by the slowing factor.read more

Slow-light sensor utilizing an optical filter and a narrowband optical source
TL;DR: In this paper, an optical device and a method of using an optical filter are described, where the optical filter has a refractive index that varies along a length of the filter and a narrowband optical source is configured to generate light having a wavelength at or in the vicinity of at least one of the wavelengths corresponding to a local transmission maximum and a wavelength corresponding to the maximum slop of the group index spectrum.

Transient dynamics in cavity electromagnetically induced transparency with ion Coulomb crystals
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the transient dynamics of an optical cavity field interacting with large ion Coulomb crystals in a situation of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), which is achieved by injecting a probe field at the single photon level and a more intense control field with opposite circular polarization into the same mode of optical cavity to couple Zeeman substates of a metastable level in 40Ca+ ions.

Super-sensor based on fast light Brillouin fiber laser
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed and analyzed a theoretical implementation of an ultra-sensitive white light cavity (WLC) sensor based on a Brillouin fiber laser (a laser that uses Brillourin scattering to achieve optical gain).
22pEB-12 Delayed optical images through coupled-resonator-induced transparency
Parvin Sultana,貴裕 松本,誠 冨田 +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a transverse two-dimensional image encoded on optical pulses was propagated through a frequency window of a coupled-image-resonator-induced transparency, where the optical images were stored and delayed by 10.6ns, reflecting the tunable dispersion of the coupled resonator.

Gain-assisted superluminal light propagation
TL;DR: Gain-assisted linear anomalous dispersion is used to demonstrate superluminal light propagation in atomic caesium gas and is observed to be a direct consequence of classical interference between its different frequency components in an anomalously dispersion region.

TL;DR: Low group velocities of light in an optically dense crystal of Pr doped Y2SiO5 are reported by using a sharp spectral feature in absorption and dispersion that is produced by resonance Raman excitation of a ground-state spin coherence.

Superluminal and Slow Light Propagation in a Room-Temperature Solid
TL;DR: It is observed that ions in mirror sites are inversely saturable and cause superluminal light propagation, whereas ions in inversion sites experience conventional saturable absorption and produce slow light.
