Multiple-Hole Defects: Optimizing Light-Matter Interaction in Photonic Crystal Cavities
Silicon photonic crystal (PhC) cavities have attracted great interest recently due to their ability to highly confine light both spatially and temporally. The small mode volumes and long photon lifetimes associated with PhC cavities are desirable for sensing applications, which utilize the sensitivi...
