When semiconductor quantum wells(SQWs) interact with lasers,the group velocity of the low-intensity light pulse is studied theoretically.It is shown that by adjusting the parameters,slow light propagation of the probe field can be exhibited in such a system.Meanwhile,the probe absorption-gain spectra can be changed from absorption to zero,i.e.,electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT).It is easy to observe the light propagation experimentally,and it leads to potential applications in many fields of solid-state quantum information,for example,optical switching,detection and quantum computing.
