This desirable behavior suggests a potential for annular photonic-crystal silicon-on-insulator slabs to serve as the basis of various optical cavities, waveguides, and mirrors.Based on the investigations and discussion of the flat band slow light mechanism in photonic crystal waveguide, flat band low dispersion slow light in symmetric line defect photonic crystals waveguide formed by adding dielectric pillars in the air holes nearest to the waveguide core is investigated. By adjusting the radii of the new dielectric pillars, a linear band in the photonic band structure appears which denotes low group velocity dispersion. High average group index of 74.4 with 2.3 nm bandwidth centered at 1550 nm wavelength is demonstrated in an optimized waveguide by finite-difference time-domain simulation. The novel photonic crystal waveguide can provide various applications, such as optical buffer memories, efficient optical switches and especially in enhanced light-matter interaction both in the linear and nonlinear regime with a simple and straight structure.Based on the investigations and discussion of dispersion compensation wide band slow light mechanism in photonic crystal waveguide, wideband dispersion-free slow light in chirped-slot photonic-crystal coupled waveguides is proposed and theoretically investigated in detail. By systematically analyzing the dependence of band shape on various structure parameters, unique inflection points in the key photonic band with approximate zero group velocity can be obtained in an optimized slot photonic-crystal coupled waveguide. By simply chirping the widths of the photonic-crystal waveguides in the optimized structure, wideband (up to 20 nm centered at 1550 nm wavelength) slow-light with optical confinement in the low dielectric slot is demonstrated numerically with relative temporal pulse-width spreading well below 8 %
