摘要: We introduce the definition of group velocity for a system with discrete spectrum and apply it to linear resonator. show that positive, negative, or zero can be obtained light propagating in whispering-gallery modes microspherical The associated delay is practically independent ring-down time demonstrate 'stopped light' an experiment fused silica microsphere.
