The photons don't slow. They merely are made to spin about in atomic levels until their spin reaches a release threshold energy state. Then they go on to the next spin about capture and waste more time there. This process looks like the photon slows or stops, etc., but the photon never undergoes change in velocity. It isn't a scalar particle and can't exist at rest co-moving relative to an observer. It would take infinite energy to slow a photon in its local Lorentz frame.
