Seoul National University Engineers Program Slow Light with New Method

Researchers at Seoul National University have demonstrated fully programmable control of light’s speed using a new approach based on generalized coupled-resonator-induced transparency. The work involves researchers affiliated with the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and the University of Seoul, and moves beyond simply slowing light to manipulating its propagation with increased precision. This advance utilizes a technique that manipulates how light interacts with structures to dramatically…
