Abstract
We report the infrared operation of a two-dimensional photonic crystal wave guide fabricated in silicon. Measurements of the transmission spectrum reve al a large transmission bandwidth within the 3.1-5.5-mu m bulk-crystal phot onic bandgap and a rich resonance structure. The calculated transmission sp ectrum for this structure is in good agreement with the measured spectrum a nd predicts a 10% single-mode bandwidth for the waveguide.
