Abstract
The authors experimentally demonstrate the controllability of the defe ct mode in a submillimetre three-dimensional silicon photonic crystal. The resonant mode at 253 GHz is created inside the forbidden gap by i nserting interstitial defects. The transmission level of the mode is m odulated externally by more than 8 dB with a 330 mW laser illumination . Transmission spectra are confirmed by numerical simulations.
