Abstract
We have investigated the slow and fast light properties of a semiconductor waveguide device employing concatenated gain and absorber sections. This letter presents the experimental results as well as theoretical modeling. A large phase shift of 110deg and a true-time delay of more than 150 ps are demonstrated. The combination of amplitude and phase control of the modulated signal shows great promise for applications within microwave photonics.Keywords
