We explain the physics behind this technique and we describe the experimental realization. Finally, we summarize some recent advances in this field and future goals.engSlow and fast light based on coherent population oscillations in erbium-doped fibresjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1088/2040-8978/12/10/104002http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/2040-8978/12/10/104002/metarestricted access535.2621.391.6Slow lightCoherent population oscillationsErbium-doped fibresÓptica (Física)Fibras y comunicación óptica2209.19 Óptica Física2209.5 Fibras ópticas
