  • Abstract
    Single line defect optical waveguides in a photonic crystal airbridge fabricated into a silicon-on-insulator wafer with a minimum propagation loss of 11 dB/mm are demonstrated. The observed propagation loss spectrum and near field patterns at fibre communication wavelengths agree well with those expected from the photonic band calculation
