摘要
We report a tunable slow and fast light device based on a carbon nanotube resonator, in the presence of a strong pump laser and a weak signal laser. Detailed analysis shows that the signal laser displays the superluminal and ultraslow light characteristics via passing through a suspended carbon nanotube resonator, while the incident pump laser is on- and off-resonant with the exciton frequency, respectively. In particular, the fast and slow light correspond to the negative and positive dispersion, respectively, associating with the vanished absorption. The bandwidth of the signal spectrum is determined by the vibration decay rate of carbon nanotube. (c) 2012 Optical Society of America
