Abstract

We have developed a novel silicon platform where light from optical fiber is coupled directly into and out of silicon-based photonic crystal structures with over 30dB suppression of transmission from 1400nm to 1700nm and defect energy levels tuned to within 2nm in the bandgap. Insertion losses as low as 3.5dB have been achieved. The optical spectra of our one-dimensional silicon-based photonic crystals can be quantitatively described by a simple model of light incident on a series of dielectric interfaces. The agreement between experiment and simulation and the low insertion losses are promising for the future integration of photonic crystals into optical communications.
