  • Abstract
    We demonstrate post-processed and reconfigurable photonic crystal double-heterostructures via selective fluid infiltration. Quality factors of Q = 4,300 are obtained from initial measurements. The presented defect-writing technique does not require nanometer-scale alterations in lattice geometry and may be undertaken at any time after device fabrication.
