Abstract
Phase-controlled slow and fast light in double coupled quantum dot molecules (QDMs) is researched theoretically. The
system absorption and slow factor are
2π-period phase-dependent. It is very effective to switch between slow-light and
fast-light state by changing the frequency detuning, Rabi frequency and relative phase of the three coupling lasers. Due to
the QDMs’ more flexible and adjustable properties than conventional atomic ones, such a system may be more practical.
This work may be used to design tunable optical buffer or other solid-state optical devices.
