Slow-light-enhanced energy efficiency for graphene microheaters on silicon photonic crystal waveguides

Slow light can be used to sustain strong light–matter interaction in silicon photonics. Here, the authors combine graphene with a silicon slow-light photonic crystal waveguide, demonstrating a fast and energy-efficient graphene microheater.
