Abstract

Summary form only given. We present results on the control of waveguided light around 1 /spl mu/m by two dimensional photonic bandgap (PBG) triangular lattices. The lattice consists of 0.8- /spl mu/m deep cylindrical holes etched through the waveguide with an air filling factor. To test PBG lattices we use the guided photoluminescence (PL) of InGaAs quantum wells embedded in a 0.24/spl mu/m-thick GaAs monomode waveguide.
