“…In addition, a tunable switch from superluminal to slow light is achievable in our model by simply adjusting the atomic detuning as ∆ a = ±ω m , which makes our scheme thereby more advantageous and more practical over earlier schemes. Fast and slow light effects have potential impact on the present-day photonic technology and have paved the way towards many applications including quantum information processing, integrated quantum optomechanical memory, classical signal processing, real quality imaging, cloaking devices, higher detection efficiency of x rays, optical buffering, delay lines, telecommunication and interferometry [14,23,65,66].…”
