We demonstrate evanescent coupling between a photonic crystal (PhC) waveguide and a PhC embedded microring resonator on the silicon-on-insulator platform. The mode converter comprises 6 linearly chirped air holes that adiabatically couple the light between the silicon waveguide mode and the PhC mode. Three-dimensional finitedifference time-domain simulations reveal a coupling bandwidth of >100nm. From our experiment, the optical spectra show a photonic bandgap located below ~1590nm. At the resonances in the slow-light regime, a loaded quality factor as high as ~2500 was measured and a group index of ~16 in the PhC embedded microring resonator was estimated from the non-uniform free spectral ranges.
