Abstract :
Spectral dependence of propagation losses above the light line is measured by a cut-back method in silicon photonic crystal waveguides and is compared to leaky mode propagation in conventional strip waveguides. Features in the experimental data are accurately reproduced by 3D-FDTD calculations
