Gain-assisted superluminal propagation in coupled optical resonators

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We predict transparent superluminal pulse propagation in coresonant coupled optical resonators when a gain element is placed in the resonator closest to the excitation waveguide, provided that the structure is overcoupled, but the resonator farthest from the excitation waveguide is undercoupled sufficiently to avoid lasing at the split modes. The effective steady-state absorptive and dispersive response of coupled resonators are derived, and the coupled-mode approximation is used to determine the conditions for transparent superluminal pulse propagation in these systems. In addition, we find that the effect of pulse compression is minimized when the structure is critically coupled.
