High Sensitivity Interferometers Using Slow- and Fast-Light for Various Applications

HIGH SENSITIVITY INTERFEROMETERS USING SLOW- AND FAST-LIGHT FOR VARIOUS APPLICATIONS

Tech for Transfer

TTO

23-01-2016

An optical instrumentation concept for enhancing the spectral sensitivity of interferometers by use of dispersive media, in which the group velocity of light is slowed. Conversely, spectrometers can be modified with "fast light" dispersive media to reduce the sensitivity but broaden the measurable spectral range.
