Enhancement of Optical Nonlinearity in Coupled Resonator Optical Waveguide Based on Slotted 1-D Photonic Crystal Cavity

A coupled resonator optical waveguide (CROW) based on a slotted 1-D photonic crystal (1-D PC) cavity is proposed, and its enhancement of the optical nonlinearity due to the slow-light effect of the CROW and the small effective area of the slotted 1-D PC cavities is demonstrated. Setting the appropri...
