Abstract

A high-Q factor 1D photonic crystal cavity (PhC) based on Silicon Nitride is presented, achieving calculated Q-factors above 106 over a wide range of upper-cladding refractive index values (1 to 1.45), angle sidewalls (0º, 5º and 7º) and stick widths. The 1D PhC devices experimental results demonstrate their suitability in external cavity laser configuration for integrated sensing platforms for gases and liquids at telecom wavelengths (1.4-1.6 μm).
