Limitation of Group Refractive Index in An Optical Fiber at The Room Temperature
The electron population oscillating between the ground and metastable level in the beat frequency between the pump and probe beam can result in the reduced absorption of the probe wave. The probe wave experiences the reduction of absorption in a narrow frequency band
which corresponds to rapid changes of the refractive index. According to the equation of
n

=

the group refractive index will increase. Utilizing the theory of slow light
the limitation of group refractive index in different environments and the change of group velocity were discussed. It is found that the group refractive index decreases with the increasing of the fiber length. The group refractive indices in the fibers with different Er

concentration decrease with the increasing of the modulation frequency
and the group refractive index has a saturation process with the increasing of the signal power under different modulation frequency.
