Abstract :
Group-theoretical and Fourier space analyses are used to design low loss photonic crystal cavities. Experimental results verifying the group theory predictions are presented, along with finite-difference time-domain calculations of recent designs with predicted quality factors exceeding 1/sup 5/5.
