Abstract

In this work, we experimentally demonstrate the capacity of the photorefractive (PR) crystal to control the group velocity of light pulses, specifically at the telecommunication wavelength, by using the so-called beam fanning at room temperature. Significantly, we show for the first time that this method can effectively decelerate a modulated signal propagating through this material at 1310 nm. Furthermore, we illustrate that the performance of this slow light system can be adjusted by changing the intensity, duration, and angle of polarization of the input pulse. The results obtained through this technique can potentially improve the performance of specific components in telecommunication networks.
