We theoretically investigate the slow light in a quadratically coupled optomechanical system. Different from the linear coupling case, the slow light via quadratic coupling derives from a two-phonon process, and the fluctuation in displacement plays a vital role in nonlinear coherence. The numerical results show that the slow light can be realized in an extensive range of parameters even at high temperature, e.g., 200 K. We also find that the environment temperature which provides almost all of the phonon energy, together with the coupling field power, jointly drive the realization of slow light.
