Abstract :
We review the theory of slow and fast light effect in semiconductor waveguides and potential applications of these effects in microwave photonic systems as RF phase shifters. Recent applications as microwave photonic filters is presented. Also, in the presentation more applications like optoelectronic oscillators and arbitrary waveform generators will be described. Some work related to the noise and distortion will also be discussed.
