Abstract
The Fabry-Perot resonance technique has been used to determine the propagat ion losses of planar photonic crystal (PC) waveguides. The structures are p atterned into a GaInAsP confining layer on an InP substrate. Losses as low as 11 dB/mm have been measured on a guiding structure with three missing ro ws. The influence of the PC guide width and air-filling factor is demonstra ted. (C) 2001 Optical Society of America.
