This group in France is also doing very relevant research and seems to agree well with the slot waveguide approach described (vaguely) by Lightwave:

Extreme optical confinement in a slotted photonic crystal waveguide

ABSTRACT
Using Optical Coherence Tomography, we measure the attenuation of slow light modes in slotted photonic crystal waveguides. When the group index is close to 20, the attenuation is below 300?dB cm-1. Here, the optical confinement in the empty slot is very strong, corresponding to an ultra-small effective cross section of 0.02?µm2. This is nearly 10 times below the diffraction limit at ??=?1.5?µm, and it enables an effective interaction with a very small volume of functionalized matter.
