Abstract :
We show for the first time the potential of the linear spectrogram method for the extraction of phase shifts induced by slow and fast light in an InGaAsP/InP semiconductor optical amplifier. Optical filtering using this technique exhibits a 6-fold improvement of the optical delay at 10 GHz and an enhanced slow-light related effect bandwidth.
