Simulation of high-Q nanocavities with 1D photonic gap

conference paper

English

We report on theoretical investigation of a hybrid cavity structure which has been conducted within the European Action COST MP0702. The structure, which can reach ultrahigh Q factors, consists of a size-modulated 1D stack cavity made in a III-V material and coupled to a silicon waveguide. We present results of structure behavior simulations obtained by four independent rigorous numerical techniques. We discuss qualitative physical properties of the simulations results and identify the main physical effects contributing to the total Q factor.
