Enhanced stimulated Raman scattering in slow-light photonic crystal waveguides

We investigate slow-light enhancement of stimulated Raman scattering in monolithic silicon photonic crystal defect waveguides. The applied Bloch-Floquet formalism demonstrates remarkable gain enhancements up to 10 4 at the band-edges, while considering disorder, absorption and coupling.
