Abstract
Controlling of the Goos-Hönchen (GH) shifts of the
reflected and transmitted probe pulses through a cavity containing
four-level GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dot with 15 periods of 17.5 nm GaAs wells
and 25-nm Al0.3Ga0.7As barriers is investigated. Under
appropriate conditions, the probe absorption can be converted to the
probe gain, therefore the controlling of negative and positive GH shift
in the both reflected and transmitted probe beams can be occurred
simultaneously. Our obtained results show that the group index of the
probe beams could be negative or positive in both reflected and
transmitted pulses. Therefore, simultaneous subluminal or superluminal
light propagation in reflected and transmitted pulses can be achieved.
