A 4-fold reduction of the group velocity induced by mere cavity effects has caused an increase of molecular absorption by 130%.Fiber optics sensorsPhotonic crystal fibersResonatorsStructural slow light can enhance Beer-Lambert absorptiontext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
