Abstract
Optical properties of two-dimensional photonic crystals (PCs) integrated in a silicon-on-insulator stripe waveguide are reported. Transmission measurements are done on a wide wavelength range (1.1–1.7 μm) by coupling a white-light source in the cleaved edge of the sample and collecting light at the other cleaved side of the waveguide. PC mirrors and one-dimensional (1D) Fabry–Pérot cavities formed between two PC reflectors have been fabricated and characterized. The photonic band gap of the mirror is observed in the Γ–M direction for the transverse electric like guided modes. For the waveguide with the 1D Fabry–Pérot cavity, resonant modes appear within the gap. It is found that the experimental spectra are in very good agreement with both the theoretical photonic band structure and the theoretical transmission calculated by finite difference time domain.
