Gain-assisted superluminal light propagation

by L. J. WANG, A. KUZMICH & A. DOGARIU of the NEC Research Institute

Einstein's theory of special relativity and the principle of causality imply that the speed of any moving object cannot exceed that of light in a vacuum (c). Nevertheless, there exist various proposals for observing faster-than-c propagation of light pulses, using anomalous dispersion near an absorption line, nonlinear and linear gain lines, or tunnelling barriers...
