Stimulating light scattering in periodic structures: How slow can it go? Proof-of-concept experiments have already proven that it is possible to reduce and control the speed of light within the laboratory.

Proof-of-concept experiments have already proven that it is possible to reduce and control the speed of light within the laboratory. This fundamental change in our understanding of light properties generated a frenzy of scientific interest and we now have a basic understanding of the physical processes involved in slowing light. What we do not have, however, is a method of doing so that can be harnessed into useful applications outside of the lab. Our proposed approach offers a low power solution that can be readily incorporated into a myriad of engineered devices.Read moreRead less
