The experiments are designed, so that the process generating slow light and the probed light-matter interaction only present a marginal cross-effect. The impact of slow light on simple molecular absorption could be separately evaluated under either material or structural slow light propagation in the same medium and led to an entirely different response.Fiber opticsnonlinear fiber opticsslow and fast lightmolecular absorptionstimulated Brillouin scatteringOptical Wave-GuideElectromagnetic PropagationMediaEnhancementSensitivityFibersEnergyEnhancing the light-matter interaction using slow light: towards the concept of dense lighttext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
