Abstract :
We review the development of several new approaches for extending the performance of Brillouin based slow light systems. In particular we describe the use of cavity effects to enhance the achievable delays, gain saturation to decouple the delay and associated signal gain, and the use of tailored pump beams to effect reshaping and retiming of periodic signals.
