Implication

Experimental study demonstrates miniband transmission in a photonic crystal coupled-resonator waveguide, validating theoretical models for compact optical devices.

Key Points

To experimentally demonstrate the coupled-resonator optical waveguide concept in the near-infrared spectrum using two-dimensional photonic crystals.
Fabricated an array of micrometer-sized hexagonal cavities coupled through thin walls within a gallium arsenide (GaAs)-based waveguiding heterostructure using two-dimensional photonic crystals.
Employed photoexcited indium arsenide (InAs) quantum dots embedded in the structure as an internal light source to measure transmission spectra.
Observed near-infrared transmission spectra displaying well-defined alternating minibands and minigaps.
Confirmed that the experimentally recorded transmission bands match theoretical predictions for coupled-resonator optical waveguides.
