Abstract :
We demonstrate first observations of slow-light enhanced three-photon absorption(ThPA) in photonic crystal waveguides.The injected pulses demonstrate self-phase modulation(SPM) with scalings deviating from ng 2(SPM) and ng 3(ThPA).A thorough analysis suggests pulse compression leading to increased peak powers.
