Abstract

In this paper, we present an experimental study, validated by two different approaches, of the influence of the top cladding refractive index on the transmission and slow light properties of dispersion engineered silicon slot photonic crystal waveguides. We demonstrate that even though the operation wavelength is very sensitive to refractive index changes, the structures remain, nevertheless, robust in terms of group index, group velocity dispersion properties, and bandwidth figures of merit.
