摘要：
The localization of light to less than a cubic wavelength, lambda(3), in all three dimensions has important quantum consequences. A defect formed inside a three-dimensional (3D) photonic crystal provides a unique optical environment for light localization. Single-mode defect cavities were built from an infrared 3D photonic crystal. A cavity state with a modal volume of 2X(lambda/2)(3) was observed. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the smallest cavity mode in a 3D photonic crystal ever observed at infrared wavelengths. [S0163-1829(99)51124-7].
