Photonic crystal waveguides in artificial opals
3D photonic crystals based on Si inverted-opals are numerically explored as hosts for effective air-channel waveguides, which can serve as parts of photonic circuits. Two basic shapes of straight waveguides are considered: cylindrical and a chain of spheres. Modelling shows that transmission is heavily dependent on the lattice position of the waveguide and its direction.
Our experiments of defect inscription by 2-photon polymerization for the production of straight and bent waveguides in opal templates are reported.
