Abstract

In order to obtain excellent slow-light performance, we propose a photonic crystal waveguide (PCW) that introduces extrinsic defect rods in the center row of a complete square lattice rotated 45° counterclockwise and the second row adjacent to it. The continuous cavities are used as a storage of electromagnetic energy and a speed reducer of light speed, used for slow optical transmission in PCWs. Then, the plane wave expansion method (PWE) is used to study the slow light transmission characteristics of the proposed structure, and the influence of the structure parameters on the slow light performance is analyzed. Finally, the bandwidth is obtained at 23.37 nm when the normalized delay bandwidth product (NDBP) reaches 0.40. In addition, considering the effect of material properties on slow light performance, NDBP is further optimized to 0.44, and the bandwidth reaches 27.63 nm. A simple but universal structure is designed to provide an important theoretical basis for further improving the storage capacity with high bandwidth and high NDBP slow light.
