Simulation of Slow Light with Electronics Circuits
Abstract
We present an electronic circuit which simulates wave propagation in dispersive media. The circuit is an array of phase shifter composed of operational amplifiers and can be described with a discretized version of one-dimensional wave equation for envelopes. The group velocity can be changed both spatially and temporarily. It is used to emulate slow light or stopped light, which has been realized in a medium with electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). The group-velocity control of optical pulses is expected to be a useful tool in the field of quantum information and communication.
