Eigen-mode splitting is observed and resulting group indices obtained from the tight-binding formalism and numerical results are compared. © 2011 IEEE.EnglishPhotonic Crystal Coupled Cavity WaveguidesPhotonic CrystalsTight Binding Formalism in ElectromagnetismCoupled cavityCoupled cavity waveguidesGroup indexLight regimeNumerical resultsTight bindingUltra Slow LightCrystal structureMOEMSNanophotonicsSlow lightPhotonic crystalsConference Paper10.1109/OMEMS.2011.6031090
