Ultrahigh reflection from a medium with ultraslow group velocity

V. V. Kozlov, S. Wallentowitz, S. Raghavan

abstract: We show that an incident wavepacket at the boundary to a medium with extremely slow group velocity, experiences enhanced reflection and a substantial spatial and temporal distortion of the transmitted wave packet. In the limit of vanishing group velocity, light cannot be transferred into the medium due to its perfect reflectivity.
