Chip-Scale Slow-Light Buffers Fashioned with Leaky-Mode Resonant Elements and Methods of Using Leaky-Mode Resonant Elements for Delaying Light

摘要

A method for delaying transmitted light. The method may include illuminating a leaky-mode resonant element with light pulses of short duration and sequences of such pulses. The leaky-mode resonant element may include a spatially modulated periodic layer and may be configured so that at least some of the light is transmitted in a delayed manner.
