Abstract :
Slow light transmission with high delay bandwidth product of the order of 87.41 in a large bandwidth of 4.4 THz below silica light line is achieved in the proposed SOI based photonic crystal waveguide with hexagonal arrangement of elliptical air holes. This Delay bandwidth product indicates its buffering capacity. Within this bandwidth, group velocity dispersion is evaluated on the order of 100-102 ps2/km.
