Abstract

We propose a new design for slow-light photonic crystal W1 waveguide, which uses a combination of circular and elliptical air holes arranged in a hexagonal lattice with background material of refractive index n = 2.84. Large value of normalized delay bandwidth product (NDBP = 0.3708) is obtained. We have also analyzed dispersion property for the structure and achieved nearly zero-dispersion for a very large bandwidth. Our proposed photonic crystal waveguide has slow light applications such as reduction in length and power consumption of all-optical and electro-optic switches at optical frequency.
