Slow and stopped light in a time-dependent Moiré grating
Slow and stopped light in a time-dependent Moiré grating
The reduction in the group velocity of a light pulse due to a resonance is termed slow light. A velocity reduction to 17 m/s was demonstrated using electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). It was later demonstrated that light could be stopped completely. Whilst slow light EIT experiments have been ground breaking, they require a vapour cloud cooled close to 0 K. Here we present a possible alternative using gratings and a time-dependent refractive index.

Abstract
The reduction in the group velocity of a light pulse due to a resonance is termed slow light. A velocity reduction to 17 m/s was demonstrated using electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). It was later demonstrated that light could be stopped completely. Whilst slow light EIT experiments have been ground breaking, they require a vapour cloud cooled close to 0 K. Here we present a possible alternative using gratings and a time-dependent refractive index.
