Vertical beaming of wavelength-scale photonic crystal resonators

Vertical beaming of wavelength-scale photonic crystal resonators

We report that $> 80%$ of the photons generated inside a photonic crystal slab resonator can be funneled within a small divergence angle of $\pm 30^\circ$. The far-field radiation properties of a photonic crystal slab resonant mode are modified by tuning the cavity geometry and by placing a reflector below …
