Abstract

We describe experimental studies of guided resonances in two-dimensional photonic crystal slabs using coherent single-cycle terahertz pulses. Our measurements directly reveal two stages of pulse transmission in the time domain: an initial pulse resulting from the direct transmission through the photonic crystal slab and a long-lived decaying tail resulting from the finite lifetime of guided resonance modes. These reflect the coupling of a set of discrete modes to the free-space continuum, which produces guided resonances with Fano resonance profiles. Phase spectra are also obtained experimentally, and these also exhibit the signatures of guided resonances. By changing the incident angle of the input beam, we change the spectrum of guided resonances excited by the incident wave. Our experimental results are in good agreement with numerical simulations.
