Abstract
We report on the fabrication of photonic crystal waveguides in SOI that comprise an air-slot in the centre. The slot serves to confine suitably polarised optical radiation (H-polarisation) and due to its small size, provides extremely high field intensity values out with the high index material. Adding the photonic crystal environment then provides full control over the dispersive properties of this waveguide. We demonstrate the successful operation of this structure experimentally and explain its key features.
