The information velocity in "fast light" optical pulse propagation
Michael Stenner
I explore experimentally the nature of information encoded on "fast
light" optical pulses. Fast light pulses are pulses with a group
velocity faster than the speed of light in vacuum. In this talk, I
will discuss the nature of the group velocity and of information. I
will also present recent results indicating that the velocity of
information encoded on fast light pulses remains less than or equal
to the speed of light in vacuum, consistent with the special theory of
relativity.
