  • Abstract
    Very efficient light transmission over a length of several millimetres through linear photonic crystal slab waveguides, patterned into an InGaAlAs waveguiding layer on InP substrate, is demonstrated. Quantitative evaluation of the light propagation in these waveguides, using the Fabry-Perot resonance method, yields a minimum loss of 1.6 dB/mm, for a waveguide with seven missing rows at 1550 nm wavelength.
