Photonic-bandgap microcavities in optical wageguides

Foresi et al report measurements of microcavity resonances in photonic-bandgap structures integrated directly into a submicrometre-scale silicon waveguide. This level of integration might lead to new photonic chip architectures and devices, such as zero-threshold microlasers, filters and signal rout...

Summary:Foresi et al report measurements of microcavity resonances in photonic-bandgap structures integrated directly into a submicrometre-scale silicon waveguide. This level of integration might lead to new photonic chip architectures and devices, such as zero-threshold microlasers, filters and signal routers.
