Proof-of-concept experiments have already proven that it is possible to reduce and control the speed of light within the laboratory. This fundamental change in our understanding of light properties generated a frenzy of scientific interest and we now have a basic understanding of the physical processes involved in slowing light. What we do not have, however, is a method of doing so that can be harnessed into useful applications outside of the lab. Our proposed approach offers a low power solution that can be readily incorporated into a myriad of engineered devices.

概念验证实验已经证明，在实验室内降低和控制光速是可能的。 我们对光的性质的理解发生了根本性的变化，产生了狂热的科学兴趣，我们现在对慢光所涉及的物理过程有了基本的了解。 然而，我们没有的是一种可以在实验室之外应用的方法。我们提出的方法提供了一个低功耗的解决方案，可以很容易地纳入无数的工程设备。
