    This paper experimentally investigated slow light effect in cascaded silicon-on-insulator (SOI) microring resonators. Double channel and single channel sidecoupled integrated spaced sequence of resonators (SCISSOR) devices were fabricated with electron beam lithography and dry etching technology. The delay performances of the SCISSOR devices were demonstrated using non-return-to-zero (NRZ) and return-to-zero (RZ) signals at different bit rates. Group delays and bandwidths of cascaded microrings are significantly enhanced compared with single microring.
