摘要
Two-dimensional photonic crystals (PhCs) were etched into InP/(Ga,In)(As,P) planar waveguides using chlorine-based chemical assisted ion beam etching (CAIBE). The processed PhCs were optically characterized by measuring transmission through simple slabs and one-dimensional cavities. The optical performances inside the photonic band gap are much better compared to both previously reported CAIBE results and results obtained with other etching methods. In particular, we measured a record quality factor of 310 for one-dimensional cavities fabricated in this material system. (C) 2004 American Vacuum Society.
