Abstract

We demonstrate that guided resonant modes can be readily observed in asymmetrical photonic crystal slabs on high-index substrates. In spite of the high radiative loss associated with all optical modes in these cases, the guided resonant modes are found to give rise to strong high-Q features in the transmission spectra. Since these photonic crystal structures are far more robust and easier to fabricate than the free-standing photonic crystal membranes used in previous studies of guided resonant modes, detailed studies of relevant optical phenomena and the implementation of proposed applications are greatly simplified.
