摘要
The design, fabrication, and measurement of photonic-band-gap (PBG) waveguides, resonators and their coupled elements in two-dimensional photonic crystal (PhC) slabs have been investigated. We have studied various loss mechanisms in PBG waveguides and have achieved a very low propagation loss (similar to1 dB/mm). For these waveguides, we have observed a large group delay (>100 ps) by time-domain measurement. As regards PBG resonators, we realize very high-Q and small volume resonators in PhC slabs by appropriate design. Finally, we demonstrate various forms of coupled elements of waveguides and resonators: 2-port resonant-tunneling transmission devices, 4-port channel-drop devices using the slow light mode, and 3-port channel-drop devices using the resonant-tunneling process.
