摘要
A relatively simple technique is demonstrated to fabricate three-dimensional face-centered-cubic infrared photonic crystals with submicron feature sizes using GaAs-based technology, single-step epitaxial growth, and lateral wet oxidation. The photonic crystals were fabricated with feature sizes (a) of 1.5 and 0.5 mum. Transmission measurements reveal a stopband centered at 1.0 mum with a maximum attenuation of 10 dB for the submicron (a = 0.5 mum) photonic crystal. This technique is scalable to small photonic crystal periodicity and hence to shorter wavelengths. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
