Abstract

Dielectric microspheres are theoretically studied to reduce the propagation loss of Si-based photonic crystal slab waveguides. Two-dimensional photonic crystal formed by etched air hole can act as a template for microsphere sedimentation. The analytical results show that the transmission of the photonic crystal slab waveguides with microspheres can be enhanced to be around twice that without microspheres.
