All-optically simultaneous slow and fast light

Simultaneous slow and fast light can be realized all-optically by connecting a four-level closed-loop atom-light interaction scheme to A type electromagnetically induced transparency system. Through manipulation of the relative phase of one of the coupling lights, probe light can be switched among dual-slow light, dual-fast light and simultaneous slow and fast light. A theoretical analysis based on dressed state picture is given. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.
