Abstract
A method to achieve an extremely wide and flexible control of the group velocity in an optical fiber using stimulated Brillouin scattering is presented. Group velocities below 71,000 km/s on one hand, well exceeding the speed of light in vacuum on the other hand and even negative group velocities can readily be obtained
