Abstract :
Two-dimensional photonic crystals (PCs) in thin-slab or waveguide structures open new possibilities in optoelectronic devices. We present experiments on a variety of structures and devices, as well as modelling tools, which show that 2D-PCs etched through waveguides supported by substrates are a viable route to high-performance PC-based photonic integrated circuits (PICs).
