Abstract

We observe both superluminal and slow light propagation simultaneously in a nested fiber ring resonator. The two outputs of the resonator exhibit different absorption characteristics that produce opposite dispersion performance. The transmission spectra of two outputs are demonstrated experimentally for a variety of coupler settings. In particular, the group delays of the resonator for various values of the coupling coefficients are demonstrated theoretically and experimentally. We also discuss potential applications of the resonator.

Fig. 6
Fig. 6 Simulated and observed group delay of out1 and out2 as a function of coupling coefficients κ 1 and κ 2 . The simulated results are shown as solid and dashed lines, and the experimental results are shown as the solid squares and diamonds in the figure. The solid line and left Y- axis represent the group delay of out1, while the dashed line and right Y- axis represent the group delay of out2. The inset shows the normalized input (solid curve) and output of out1 (dashed line) and out2 (dotted line) signal when κ 1 and κ 2 is 0.99.
