Abstract
This letter describes experimental investigations of surface-emitting channel drop filters using donor-type point defect cavities and line-defect waveguides in two-dimensional photonic crystal slabs. By using donor-type defect cavities with three and four linearly aligned missing air holes, filter quality factors of around 2600 and 6400, respectively, are achieved experimentally, compared to the quality factor of 400 of previous acceptor-type defect cavities. Radiation patterns and polarization properties of light emitted from the defects are also discussed. The results indicate that these donor-type defects are very useful for the development of ultrasmall high-performance channel add/drop filters.Keywords
