Abstract
Structures in channel or slab waveguides, applied deliberately or due to
imperfections, may lead to strong modal losses, corresponding to the excitation of
radiation modes. As an example, losses are generally very large in slab photonic
crystal (PhC) impurity waveguides (WGs) due to the combined effect of field
enhancement and fabrication errors. In the presentation it is shown that for a
silicon slab in air such radiation losses can be strongly reduced, by approximately
one order of magnitude, by structural optimization of such a slab sandwiched
between two omni-directional mirrors. The effect can be used for the production of
low loss PhC impurity WGs, high Q-cavities and low-loss transitions between
different WG sections.
