Reply to Comment on ‘Evidence of slow-light effects from rotary drag of structured beams’

Abstract

The phenomenon of self-pumped slow light, where a single beam appears to be slowed by a solid-state media, is both subtle and controversial. Here, we reply to a comment on our recent work, which uses an observation of enhanced photon drag to distinguish between group delay and pulse reshaping.
