Abstract

We report a novel high-quality (Q) factor optical resonator using a subwavelength high-contrast grating (HCG) with in-plane resonance and surface-normal emission. We show that the in-plane resonance is manifested is by a sharp, asymmetric lineshape in the surface-normal reflectivity spectrum. The simulated Q factor of the resonator is shown to be as high as 500,000. A HCG-resonator was fabricated with an InGaAs quantum well active region sandwiched in-between AlGaAs layers and a Q factor of >14,000 was inferred from the photoluminescence linewidth of 0.07 nm, which is currently limited by instrumentation. The novel HCG resonator design will serve as a potential platform for many devices including surface emitting lasers, optical filters, and biological or chemical sensors.

(a). Simulation results for a HCG biosensor. The resonant wavelength red shift when biomolecule layers with different thicknesses are deposited onto the HCG structure. (b). Simulation results for HCG resonant wavelength and Q factor as a function of temperature. Resonant wavelength only shifts 0.5 Å/K and the Q factor of the HCG cavity remains almost constant when temperature is changed from 0 °C to 100 °C.
