Photonic band-gap waveguide microcavities: Monorails and air bridges
Photonic band-gap monorail and air-bridge waveguide microcavities, operating at the wavelength regime of 1550 nm, are fabricated using GaAs-based compound semiconductors. The fabrication process involves gas-source molecular beam epitaxy, electron-beam lithography, reactive ion etching, and thermal wet oxidation of Al0.93Ga0.07As.The fabrication of the air-bridge microcavity, in particular, als...
متن کاملStrain-tunable Photonic Band Gap Microcavity Waveguides at 1.55 μm Personnel
Concept and Key Idea Photonic-bandgap microcavities in optical waveguides have demonstrated cavity resonances at wavelengths near 1.55 μm band, quality factors on the order of 300, and modal volume at 0.055 μm3 in high-index contrast Si/SiO2 waveguides and GaAs air-bridge waveguides. Applications include zero-threshold microlasers, filters and signal routers. For tunability in Si microphotonic ...
متن کاملStrain-tunable Photonic Band Gap Microcavity Waveguides in Silicon at 1.55 μm
The majority of photonic crystals developed till-date are not dynamically tunable, especially in silicon-based structures. Dynamic tunability is required not only for reconfiguration of the optical characteristics based on user-demand, but also for compensation against external disturbances and relaxation of tight device fabrication tolerances. Recent developments in photonic crystals have sugg...
متن کاملMeasurement of spontaneous emission from a two-dimensional photonic band gap defined microcavity at near-infrared wavelengths
An active, photonic band gap-based microcavity emitter in the near infrared is demonstrated. We present direct measurement of the spontaneous emission power and spectrum from a microcavity formed using a two-dimensional photonic band gap structure in a half wavelength thick slab waveguide. The appearance of cavity resonance peaks in the spectrum correspond to the photonic band gap energy. For d...
متن کاملWide-field-of-view GaAs/AlxOy one-dimensional photonic crystal filter.
The design, fabrication, and characterization of a one-dimensional photonic crystal optical filter that has a relatively narrow, flat-topped passband within a wide stop band and small angular sensitivity is presented. The filter is based on a one-dimensional photonic crystal structure that has multiple defects, facilitating simultaneous minimization of the angular sensitivity and optimization o...
