Absorption and slow light effect of pulsed light in a triple semiconductor quantum well

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/19/12/124208

Abstract Under the condition of two different cases, the absorption of a pulsed probe field and its slow propagation in a triple semiconductor quantum well are investigated. The result shows that semiconductor medium becomes transparent due to the action of control field. Another result shows that by choosing appropriate physical parameters, the slow propagation of the input field can be achieved. The proposed scheme has some potential applications and may lead to the development of the controlled technique of optical buffers and optical delay lines.
