Recent progress in developing optically-controlled delays in optical fibers, operating under normal environmental conditions and at telecommunications wavelengths, has paved the way towards real applications for slow and fast light. Advanced schemes can be realized thanks to the extremely flexible possibility to shape the gain spectrum to make it optimized for applications. Ultra wide bandwidth, delaying with flat amplitude response and lower distortion were successfully demonstrated this way.Fiber opticsNonlinear opticsSlow & fast lightstimulated Brillouin scatteringBroad-Band SbsStimulated Brillouin-ScatteringDelayPropagationAdvancementPerformanceModulationSignalsSystemsLinestext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
