Abstract

We present a comparison of high Q-factor tapered membrane-type onedimensional photonic crystal micro-cavities embedded in photonic wire waveguides based on silicon-on-insulator (SOI). Q-factor values as large as 24,000 have been measured, together with normalized transmission of 67%: an improvement in the Q-factor value in comparison with previous results obtained on structures with silicon cores supported by a silica buffer layer. Simulation using a 3D FDTD approach shows close agreement with measurements.
