Characterization of 1D photonic crystal nanobeam cavities using curved microfiber.

چکیده
We investigate high-Q, small mode volume photonic crystal nanobeam cavities using a curved, tapered optical microfiber loop. The strength of the coupling between the cavity and the microfiber loop is shown to depend on the contact position on the nanobeam, angle between the nanobeam and the microfiber, and polarization of the light in the fiber. The results are compared to a resonant scattering measurement.

High Quality factor photonic crystal nanobeam cavities
We investigate the design, fabrication and experimental characterization of high Quality factor photonic crystal nanobeam cavities in silicon. Using a five-hole tapered 1D photonic crystal mirror and precise control of the cavity length, we designed cavities with theoretical Quality factors as high as 1.4 × 10. By detecting the cross-polarized resonantly scattered light from a normally incident...
متن کاملDual-rail nanobeam microfiber-coupled resonator.
A microfiber-coupled dual-rail nanobeam resonator is proposed and demonstrated. The dual-rail scheme is employed to encourage the overlap between the light emitter and the air mode. The one-dimensional resonant cavity is formed by contacting a curved microfiber with the dual-rail nanobeam. The finite width of the dual-rail nanobeam turns out to be advantageous for both out-coupling with the mic...
متن کاملFabrication and characterization of high-quality-factor silicon nitride nanobeam cavities.
We present the fabrication and characterization of high-quality-factor (Q) Si3N4 photonic crystal nanobeam cavities at visible wavelengths for coupling to nitrogen-vacancy centers in a cavity QED system. Confocal microphotoluminescence analysis of the nanobeam cavities demonstrates quality factors up to Q ~ 55,000, which are limited by the resolution of our grating spectrometer. This is a 1-ord...
متن کاملDeterministic design of wavelength scale, ultra-high Q photonic crystal nanobeam cavities.
Photonic crystal nanobeam cavities are versatile platforms of interest for optical communications, optomechanics, optofluidics, cavity QED, etc. In a previous work [Appl. Phys. Lett. 96, 203102 (2010)], we proposed a deterministic method to achieve ultrahigh Q cavities. This follow-up work provides systematic analysis and verifications of the deterministic design recipe and further extends the ...

Optical nano-cavities are ideal platforms for label-free sensing. In this work, we demonstrated sensing of glucose concentrations at 10mg/dL with photonic crystal nanobeam sensor. The sensor exhibits high sensitivity and linearity covering the whole range of clinically relevant levels. Current device was fabricated in silicon-on-insulator platform and operated at telecom wavelength, and thus fu...
