Phys. Rev. A 62, 013821 (2000) [4 pages]Light slowing down in Moiré fiber gratings and its implications for nonlinear opticsReceived 22 February 2000; published 16 June 2000 A theory of the dispersion in the Moiré gratings is developed and it is shown that the group velocity of light in them can be reduced by up to three orders of magnitude. A conceptual similarity between Moiré grating and the electro-magnetic-induced transparency medium is demonstrated, and it is argued that for some applications the Moiré gratings present a simple viable alternative to electromagnetically induced transparency. © 2000 The American Physical Society URL:
