Abstract

Theoretical investigation on the group velocity control of ultra-fast pulses by transverse electro-optic effect as well as its cascading and cubic nonlinearity is presented. Numerical simulation shows that the group velocity can be tuned via conveniently modulating the external electric field strength or the intensity of input pulse. The response of group velocity modulation is in proportion to these two factors, and the advancement or delay can reach the magnitude of 1–2 fractional pulses, which could be a potential scheme for controlling the velocity of pulse in future high speed and large-capacity communication networks.
