Volume 94, Issue 7

Real-space images of an ultrashort light pulse propagating through a photonic-crystal waveguide, using time-resolved near-field microscopy. The first 4 images show a pulse propagating unhindered through the waveguide; in its wake, a long-lived optical field is observed captured in the first 25 µm of the waveguide, slowed down to the extent that its movement is not discernable. [H. Gersen, T. J. Karle, R. J. Engelen, W. Bogaerts, J. P. Korterik, N. F. van Hulst, T. F. Krauss, and L. Kuipers, Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 073903 (2005)]
