摘要
The photonic bands of two-dimensional (2D) triangular lattice photonic crystal Si slab waveguides were statically tuned using low temperature atomic layer deposition (ALD) of TiO(2). Angular dependent reflectance measurements of bare and coated devices were well fitted by three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain calculations. The technique not only allows the physics of photonic band effects in 2D photonic crystals to be systematically studied but also demonstrates large static tuning and precise fine-scale control over band frequency and dispersion, with a frequency tuning range of 12% and precision of 0.005% per ALD cycle. Band tuning to achieve zero group velocity is demonstrated. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
