Slow and fast light in optical fibers using acoustooptic coupling between two co-propagating modes.
We demonstrate numerically that acoustooptic interaction between two co-propagating modes in an optical fiber can be utilized to obtain optical delays. Both positive and negative delays of several pulse lengths can be obtained. Based on the simulations we consider relevant experimental parameters.
