Frozen Light in Optical Waveguides with Absorption and Nonlinearity

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

High-order stationary points in a dispersion relation, giving rise to frozen light, lead to efficient coupling into slow modes. Here we show that frozen light also enables low-threshold nonlinear effects and strongly enhanced optical absorption.
