Abstract

We review the different types of dispersion engineered photonic crystal waveguides that have been developed for slow light applications. We introduce the group index bandwidth product (GBP) and the loss per delay in terms of dB ns(-1) as two key figures of merit to describe such structures and compare the different experimental realizations based on these figures. A key outcome of the comparison is that slow light based on photonic crystals performs as well or better than slow light based on coupled ring resonators.
