Slow light with a remarkably low group velocity is a promising solution for buffering and time-
domain processing of optical signals. It also offers the possibility for spatial compression of …

Slow light in photonic crystal waveguide (PCW) is now being heavily investigated for
applications in optical devices. However, slow light with high group index in perfect PCW is …

Metasurface analogue of the phenomenon of electromagnetically induced transparency
(EIT) that is originally observed in atomic gases offers diverse applications for new photonic …

We investigate the design of taper structures for coupling to slow-light modes of various
photonic-crystal waveguides while taking into account parameter uncertainties inherent in …

We explore slow light behavior of a specially designed optical waveguide by carrying out
structural dispersion using numerical techniques. The structure proposed is composed of …

We experimentally demonstrate efficient optical coupling into a slow light photonic crystal
waveguide (PCW) that is independent of the group velocity of the guided mode. With a …

Coupling quantum emitters and nanostructures, in particular cold atoms and optical
waveguides, has recently raised a large interest due to unprecedented possibilities of …

The imaging properties of the Maxwell's fisheye (MFE) lens makes it a viable candidate to
implement power coupling between different types of waveguides. A coupler based on the …

We consider the coupling into a slow mode that appears near an inflection point in the band
structure of a photonic crystal waveguide. Remarkably, the coupling into this slow mode …

We have designed and fabricated a 2-D photonic crystal hetero-structure cavity in the
chalcogenide glass Ge_11. 5As_24Se_64. 5 that is fully embedded in a cladding with …
