Tunneling through photonic bandgaps: A reexamination of superluminal group velocities

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

It is widely believed that photons tunnel through bandgaps with group velocities exceeding c. Here we examine the experimental evidence and show that the measured group delays are photon lifetimes as opposed to transit times.
