Abstract
In this paper slow light properties in a line defect photonic crystal waveguide are investigated and Optofluidic are used for improving slow light properties. For proposed structure dispersion relations, group index, and group velocity dispersion are calculated through the 2D plane wave expansion method. It shows that by increasing the index of the liquid to infiltrate, slow light properties can be improved.
