Abstract

Only summary form given. An array of 3D photonic crystals for infrared wavelengths of 1.3-1.6 mum is assembled on a chip by micromanipulation. Each of the crystals possesses a different structure with various in-plane period, number of layers, and defect sizes. Photoluminescence measurements showed that emissions from an active layer were suppressed in the regions of photonic bandgaps, whereas sharp emission originates from point defects were clearly observed. Emission wavelengths and their quality factors changed through the differences in crystal geometries.
