Abstract
A theoretical analysis of slow and fast light effects in semiconductor
optical amplifiers based on coherent population oscillations and including
the influence of optical filtering is presented. Optical filtering is shown
to enable a significant increase of the controllable phase shift experienced
by an intensity modulated signal traversing the waveguide. The theoretical
model accounts for recent experimental results and is used to analyze and
interpret the dependence on material and device parameters. Furthermore analytical
approximations are derived using a perturbation approach and are used to gain
a better physical understanding of the underlying phenomena.
