Abstract
The beam fanning naturally occurring in a photorefractive crystal is shown to slow down a single light pulse at room temperature. Slow light is demonstrated for both visible and infrared wavelength light pulses as short as the response time of the photorefractive crystal and with fractional delay- i.e ratio of delay to output pulse duration- up to 0.4.

Reducing the group velocity vg - i.e the propagation velocity of a pulse envelope- improves the performances in optical buffering and drives new technologies of optical delay lines [?]
