Photonic wire waveguide is butt-coupled to the silicon photonic crystal waveguide defined by a periodic array of holes etched in a silicon membrane.
When the train of light pulses is entering into photonic crystal waveguide the light speed is significantly reduced due to diffraction in a periodic photonic lattice.
In the paper the speed as low as 1/300 of the speed of light in vacuum is measured.
