Enhanced superluminal pulse propagation via chiral quantum dot system

Abstract

The control and enhancement of superluminal pulse propagation via a chiral quantum-dots (QDs) system is presented in this article. The proposed system is a double chiral QDs four-level system, that gets excited by pump and probe fields, along with inter-dot tunneling strength. It is observed that the strength of inter-dot tunneling strongly influences the left-circular polarized (LCP) and right-circular polarized (RCP) superluminal pulse propagation. By appropriately modulating this strength, optimal coherence within the system can be achieved, thereby contributing to enhanced superluminal pulse propagation. We have examined the characteristics of RCP and LCP beams and observed the large negative group index and advance time. The observation of a large negative group index and advanced time shows strong evidence for enhanced superluminal pulse propagation in the proposed chiral QDs system. This study has important applications in the field of optical information processing, temporal cloaking, quantum communication, and improving computer chip speed.
