Abstract
The fabrication and characterisation of high-quality silicon membrane photonic crystals are reported. The etching process was carefully optimised to give holes with very smooth and vertical sidewalls, resulting in propagation, with a minimum loss of 4.1plusmn0.9 dB/cm in a single line defect (W1) waveguide
