RT Journal Article T1 Modulation-frequency-controlled change from sub- to superluminal regime in highly doped erbium fibers A1 Melle Hernández, Sonia A1 Gómez Calderón, Óscar A1 Caro, César E. A1 Cabrera Granado, Eduardo A1 Antón Revilla, Miguel Ángel A1 Carreño Sánchez, Fernando AB We report a change from sub- to superluminal propagation upon increasing the modulation frequency of an amplitude-modulated 1550 nm signal when propagating through highly doped erbium fibers pumped at 980 nm. We show that the interplay between the pump absorption and the pump-power broadening of the spectral hole induced by coherent population oscillations may drastically affect the fractional advancement or delay of the signal for the considered fibers.
