Experimental observation of the trapped rainbow
arXiv:0911.4464 · doi:10.1063/1.3442501
Abstract
We report on the first experimental demonstration of the broadband "trapped rainbow" in the visible frequency range using an adiabatically tapered waveguide. Being a distinct case of the slow light phenomenon, the trapped rainbow effect could be applied to optical computing and signal processing, and to providing enhanced light-matter interactions.
