Slow light based on electromagnetically induced transparency in an inhomogeneously broadened quantum dot medium is investigated theoretically. Three schemes, Ξ, V, and Λ, are compared and it is shown that the V-scheme gives a group velocity that is more than three orders of magnitude smaller compared to the Ξ- and Λ-schemes. The physical mechanisms that make the V-scheme less vulnerable to inhomogeneous broadening are analyzed and discussed.
