Two-dimensional photonic crystals (PCs) in thin-slab or waveguide structure
s open new possibilities in optoelectronic devices. We present experiments
on a variety of structures and devices, as well as modelling tools, which s
how that 2D-PCs etched through waveguides supported by substrates are a via
ble route to high-performance PC-based photonic integrated circuits (PICs).
