Abstract
We analyze slow light propagation in a coupled semiconductor quantum wells system exhibiting tunneling induced transparency. A group index as high as 85, for simple applicable GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells structures, is predicted. Using DC voltage, the resonant tunneling rate can be altered and the related group index can be controlled over a broad range.
