Strong Light Confinement in Rod-Connected Diamond Photonic Crystals
arXiv:1810.08858 · doi:10.1364/OL.43.005202
Abstract
We show that it is possible to confine light in a volume of order 10^-3 cubic wavelengths using only dielectric material. Low-index (air) cavities are simulated in high index rod-connected diamond (RCD) photonic crystals. These cavities show long storage times (Q-factors >10^6) even at the lowest volumes. Fabrication of such structures could open up a new field of photon level interactions.
