Slow-light pulses in moving media

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Slow light in moving media reaches a counterintuitive regime when the flow speed of the medium approaches the group velocity of light. Pulses can penetrate a region where a counterpropagating flow exceeds the group velocity. When the counterflow slows down, pulses are reflected.
