High-index sensitivity of surface mode in photonic crystal hetero-slab-edge microcavity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a photonic crystal hetero-slab-edge microcavity design with surface mode, which is beneficial for optical index sensing. The simulated index sensitivity (R(n)) as high as 675 nm per refractive index unit (nm/RIU) variation is obtained with slab thickness of 180 nm. In experiments, single surface mode lasing action from a real device is observed. Based on the surface mode in this microcavity, high experimental R(n) value of 625 nm/RIU is achieved by detecting index variation in a CO(2) chamber with different gas pressures.

In this report, we propose a square lattice photonic crystal hetero-slab-edge microcavity design. In numerical simulations, three surface modes in this microcavity are investigated and optimized by tuning the slab-edge termination τ and gradual mirror layer. High simulated quality (Q) factor of 2.3 × 10(5) and small mode volume of 0.105 μm(3) are obtained from microcavity with τ = 0.80. In expe...

In this report, we propose a photonic crystal heteroslab-edge microcavity design for optical index sensing, where the high quality Q surface mode is confined by mode-gap effect. By optimizing the barrier region of the microcavity, high Q factor of 6.6 105 is obtained in simulations. Lasing actions with high Q factor and low threshold of 6400 and 0.55 mW are obtained from the real devices. High ...

The radiation loss in the escaping light cone with a two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal slab microcavity can be suppressed by means of cladding the low-Q slab microcavity by three-dimensional woodpile photonic crystals with the complete bandgap when the resonance frequency is located inside the complete bandgap. It is confirmed that the hybrid microcavity based on a low-Q, single-defect phot...

We proposed an effective index perturbation method to investigate the intrinsic characteristics of three-dimensional photonic-crystal-slab based microcavity with two-dimensional numerical simulation tools such as two-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (2D-FDTD) and plane-wave expansion (2D-PWE) techniques, for reduced computational requirements and fast design feedback. Less than 2% comp...

We report observation of high-Q resonance in the photoresponse of a detector embedded in the 2D photonic crystal slab (PCS) microcavity illuminated by terahertz radiation. The detector and PCS are fabricated from a single GaAs wafer in a unified process. The influence of the period of PCS lattice, microcavity geometry, and detector location on the resonant photoresponse is studied. The resonanc...
