TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that ultrashort pulses in a high-gain 3.51-μm Xenon laser propagate through the amplifying medium at a velocity less than the vacuum speed of light by as much as a factor of 2.5.
Abstract: It is found that ultrashort pulses in a high-gain 3.51-μm xenon laser propagate through the amplifying medium at a velocity less than the vacuum speed of light by as much as a factor of 2.5. The pulse velocity is a function of the gain and agrees with the group velocity.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the prediction of Garrett and McCumber that a light pulse's velocity may exceed the speed of light in a resonantly absorbing medium is due to asymmetric absorption of energy from the light pulse.
Abstract: It is shown that the prediction of Garrett and McCumber that a light pulse's velocity may exceed the speed of light in a resonantly absorbing medium is due to asymmetric absorption of energy from the light pulse. More energy is absorbed from the trailing half of the pulse than from the front half, causing the center of gravity of the pulse to move at a velocity greater than the phase velocity of light. It is also shown that in certain cases a pulse's maximum will propagate at the group velocity even when the pulse as a whole is distorted by dispersion.

TL;DR: What do you do to start reading velocity of light and radio waves?
Abstract: What do you do to start reading velocity of light and radio waves? Searching the book that you love to read first or find an interesting book that will make you want to read? Everybody has difference with their reason of reading a book. Actuary, reading habit must be from earlier. Many people may be love to read, but not a book. It's not fault. Someone will be bored to open the thick book with small words to read. In more, this is the real condition. So do happen probably with this velocity of light and radio waves.
