Topological photonics and topological photonic states have opened up a new frontier for optical manipulation and robust light trapping. The topological rainbow can separate different frequencies of topological states into different positions. This work combines a topological photonic crystal waveguide (topological PCW) with the optical cavity. The dipole and quadrupole topological rainbows are realized through increasing cavity size along the coupling interface. The flatted band can be obtained by increasing cavity length due to interaction strength between the optical field and defected region material which is extensively promoted. The light propagation through the coupling interface is built on the evanescent overlapping mode tails of the localized fields between bordering cavities. Thus, the ultra-low group velocity is realized at a cavity length more than the lattice constant, which is appropriate for realizing an accurate and precise topological rainbow. Hence, this is a novel release for strong localization with robust transmission and owns the possibility to realize high-performance optical storage devices.
