Abstract :
Recently, various wavelength-sized cavities with theoretical Q values of ~108 have been reported, however, they all employ 2 D or 3 D photonic band gaps to realize strong light confinement. Here we numerically demonstrate that ultrahigh-Q (2.0 times 108) and wavelength-sized (Veff~1.4(lambda/n)3) cavities can be achieved by employing only 1 D periodicity.
