Interestingly enough, there was an article in the paper about
two years ago in which the light particle/ wave was slowed
down to about 30 miles per hour so they could look at it.
I think they called it "light molasses". When it left the "container",
it was instantly back to the speed of light.
The next question logically is, what will it do for a FTL
particle/ wave front?
That would be an intriguing experiment to observe.

Check out section 4 here:

But also interesting:

Also mentioned here:
