Slow Light Enhanced Nonlinear Optics in Silicon Photonic Crystal Waveguides (2010, background): “offers the additional capability to reduce significantly the speed of light propagation—creating the so-called slow light [2], [3].”
Fano-resonant metamaterials and their applications (2013, positive): “Because the reduction in group velocity is accompanied by pulse compression and energy density increase, SL promotes stronger light-matter interactions and finds numerous applications in various linear and nonlinear devices [127].”
Green light emission in silicon through slow light enhanced third-harmonic generation in photonic crystal waveguides (2009, background): “) , ( ] 2 ) ( [ ) ( ) 2 ( ) 3 ( 3 2 2 ) 3 ( 2 3 4 2 3 ω ω ω ω ω χ π ω A A f L k sinc L I nc I ⋅ ⋅ Δ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ = (1)”
Green light emission in silicon through slow-light enhanced third-harmonic generation in photonic-crystal waveguides (2009, background): “Equation ( 1 ) predicts a cubic dependence on ng of the THG power obtained at a fixed pump power.”
Slow and fast light in optical fibres (2008, background): “Thus, it is clear by inserting equation (2) into equation (1), that ΔT naturally depends linearly on the pump power.”
Photonic crystal resonances for sensing and imaging (2018, background): “The aim of slow light is to enhance the light–matter interaction [38, 39].”
