• On‐chip single photon sources using planar photonic crystals and single quantum dots (2010, background): “The physics of PC waveguides is rather intriguing, with the defining feature that their engineered waveguide band dispersions yield a vanishing group velocity [72–74].”
• Enhancement of nonlinear effects using photonic crystals (2004, background): “We start by demonstrating how PhCs can be used to design waveguides in which signal propagation is orders of magnitude slower than the speed of light in air, and how nonlinear effects in such waveguides are greatly increase”
• Quantum matter built from nanoscopic lattices of atoms and photons (2018, background): “Because of strong mode mixing in line defects (Notomi et al., 2001; Li et al., 2008), it has been experimentally demonstrated that a very flat band resulting from an avoided band crossing can exhibit extremely slow light propagation (vg ≈ c=300) (Vlasov et al., 2005) with a broad bandwidth.”
• Optomechanical crystals (2009, background): “Applied to the propagation of light, periodicity gives rise to photonic crystals[1], which can be precisely engineered to, among other things, transport and control the dispersion of light[2, 3], tightly confine and trap light resonantly[4], and enhance nonlinear optical interactions[5].”
