Dispersion Properties of Photonic Crystals and Silicon Nanostructures Investigated by Fourier-Space Imaging

State-of-the-art nanophotonic devices based on semiconductor technology use total internal reflection or the photonic bandgap effect to reduce the waveguide core dimensions down to hundreds of nanometers, ensuring strong optical confinement within the scal ...

Refractive Index Gas Sensing in a Hollow Photonic Crystal Cavity

Romuald Houdré, Hua Zhang, Nicolas Le Thomas, Jana Jágerská, Zhaolu Diao

We investigate hollow photonic crystal structures consisting in air-slot photonic crystal nanocavities. The high quality factor similar to 2.6x10(4) of such cavities along with a strong overlap between the resonant mode and the hollow core region allows fo ...

Refractive index sensing with an air-slot photonic crystal nanocavity

Romuald Houdré, Hua Zhang, Nicolas Le Thomas, Jana Jágerská, Zhaolu Diao

We investigate an air-slot photonic crystal cavity for high-precision refractive index sensing. The high quality factor ∼2:6 × 10^4 of the cavity, along with a strong overlap between the resonant mode and the hollow core region, allows us to achieve an exp ...

Radiation loss of photonic crystal coupled-cavity waveguides

Romuald Houdré, Hua Zhang, Nicolas Le Thomas, Jana Jágerská

We experimentally investigate the out-of-plane radiation losses of photonic crystal coupled-cavity waveguides. We observe a strong variation in the losses along the dispersion curve and show that such variation is closely linked with the specific far-field ...

Experimental observation of slow mode dispersion in photonic crystal coupled-cavity waveguides

Romuald Houdré, Nicolas Le Thomas, Jana Jágerská, Vasily Zabelin, Roel Baets

We experimentally investigate the dispersion curve of an integrated silicon-on-insulator coupled-cavity waveguide in a photonic crystal environment using a technique based on far-field imaging. We show that a chain of eight coupled cavities of a moderate Q ...

Coupling length of silicon-on-insulator directional couplers probed by Fourier-space imaging

Romuald Houdré, Nicolas Le Thomas, Jana Jágerská

We use a Fourier-space imaging technique relying on outcoupling grating probes to study the coupled mode interaction and dispersion properties of guided modes in silicon-on-insulator codirectional couplers. Our approach allows us to measure the mode splitt ...

Characterisation of photonic crystal and nanophotonics devices with Fourier optics

Romuald Houdré, Nicolas Le Thomas, Jana Jágerská

We report on the experimental investigation of the Floquet-Bloch modes propagation inside photonic crystal (PhC) structures as well as their emission from the structures with far-field optics. We demonstrate that far-field optical experiments can be used t ...

Dispersion properties of silicon nanophotonic waveguides investigated with Fourier optics

Romuald Houdré, Nicolas Le Thomas, Jana Jágerská

We experimentally investigate the dispersion relation of silicon-on-insulator waveguides in the 1.5 mu m wavelength range by using a technique based on far-field Fourier-space imaging. The phase information of the propagating modes is transferred into the ...
