Abstract
We demonstrate first observations of slow-light enhanced three-photon absorption(ThPA) in photonic crystal waveguides. The injected pulses demonstrate self-phase modulation(SPM) with scalings deviating from ng2(SPM) and ng3(ThPA).A thorough analysis suggests pulse compression leading to increased peak powers.
