Abstract

We have designed and fabricated a 2-D photonic crystal hetero-structure cavity in the chalcogenide glass Ge11.5As24Se64.5 that is fully embedded in a cladding with refractive index of 1.44. The low index contrast of this structure (≈1.21) means that high-Q resonances cannot be obtained using standard hetero-structure cavity designs based on W1 waveguides. We show that reducing the waveguide width can substantially improve light confinement, leading to high-Q resonances in a hetero-structure cavity. Numerical simulations indicate intrinsic Qv > 107 are possible with this approach. Experimentally, an optical cavity with a high intrinsic Qv>7.6 x 105 was achieved in a structure with a theoretical Qv = 1.7 x 106.

The dispersion curves are shown for two structures whose lattice constant differs by 10nm. The location of the bandgap of the photonic crystal is indicated by the horizontal dotted lines. The blue lines represent the edge of the slab bands of the PhC waveguide [2].

Fig. 11 (a) Optical transmission of the fully embedded Ge11.5As24Se64.5 PhC measured using a supercontinuum source and OSA with a resolution of 0.01nm. Light was coupled into the W0.56 waveguide shown in Fig. 9. Three resonance peaks are apparent: two from the W0.54 side cavity at ≈1594nm and 1605nm and one from the W0.56 in-line cavity at ≈1618mn. (b) A scan of the 1605nm resonance using a tunable laser with 1pm resolution. (c) The same spectrum as (b); inverted and fitted to a Lorentzian curve. From these measurements the Qv can be deduced to be 7.6 x 105.
