Popis: We present a theoretical analysis and experimental study of the behaviour of optical cavities filled with slow- and fast-light materials, and show that the fast-light material-filled cavities, which can function as ‘white light cavities’, have properties useful for astrophysical applications such as enhancing the sensitivity-bandwidth product of gravitational wave detection and terrestrial measurement of Lense–Thirring rotation via precision gyroscopy.
