Experimental observation of the trapped rainbow

Optics 2015-05-14 v1

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.
