摘要
Using a 3D fully-vectorial coupled Bloch-mode method, we present a systematic study of the transport of slow-light pulses in single-mode photonic-crystal waveguides (PhCW) with a realistic disorder model. For the intermediate regime corresponding to waveguide lengths of the order of the mean-free path (3 dB attenuation), we show that the group-velocity has a strong impact on the pulse broadening and distortion, limiting the practical use of PhCW to group indices below approximate to 50. For smaller group velocities, the pulse experiences an additional delay and the group-velocity is no longer a meaningful quantity. (C) 2011 Optical Society of America
