In this article, we reported self-pumped stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS)-induced fast light in a micro-resonator. The optically induced thermal effect in the micro-resonator will lead to a shift of the dispersion spectrum and make the SBS gain occurred in the anomalous dispersion regime. The group delay could be experimentally optimized from -91.0 microsecond to 2.6 microsecond by changing the modulation frequency in a microsphere with its diameter of 175 μm. The experimental results will benefit applications utilizing anomalous dispersion such as gyroscope.
