Quantum Noise and Superluminal Propagation
Causal “superluminal” effects have recently been observed and discussed in various contexts. The question arises whether such effects could be observed with extremely weak pulses, and what would prevent the observation of an “optical tachyon.” Aharonov, Reznik, and Stern (ARS) [Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 2190 (1998)] have argued that quantum noise will preclude the observation of a superluminal group...
متن کامل“ Superluminal ” Pulse Propagation
With the recent rediscovery of slowand fast-light effects, there has been much interest in pulse propagation phenomena that lead to apparently superluminal pulse transmission. This raises immediate questions about causality and special relativity violations and elicits curiosity about the physical mechanisms responsible for these effects. This thesis will address these issues theoretically and ...
متن کاملTunable superluminal propagation on a silicon microchip.
We demonstrate tunable superluminal propagation in a silicon microphotonic device in a solid-state room-temperature device of tens of micrometers in dimension allowing easy integration with high-bandwidth room-temperature systems. We achieve tunable negative delays up to 85 ps and effective group indices tunable between -1158 and -312.

متن کاملSuperluminal but Causal Wave Propagation
A series of experiments in recent years have shown that under carefully designed circumstances the group velocity, or even more surprisingly the energy velocity can exceed the speed of light in vacuum or become negative (abnormal velocities). These abnormal results have led some researchers to question the validity of special relativity, or at least cast doubt on the relevance of these principl...
