摘 要:The light propagation characteristics through the annular coupled-resonator cavity waveguides are systematically analyzed by the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. It is found that this kind of waveguide has more minbands owing to the increasing of the cavity’s size, compared with the traditional line-typed coupled-resonator waveguide. The group velocity of light propagation can be reduced for a further degree when the adjacent annular cavities are interlaced in the perpendicular direction, and a group velocity about 0.00067c (c is the light speed in vacuum) can be obtained.
