InP-based two-dimensional photonic crystals filled with polymers
Polymer filling of the air holes of Indium Phosphide based two-dimensional
photonic crystals is reported. After infiltration of the holes with a liquid
monomer and solidification of the infill in situ by thermal polymerization,
complete filling is proven using scanning electron microscopy. Optical
transmission measurements of a filled photonic crystal structure exhibit a
redshift of the air band, confirming the complete filling.Comment: To be published in Appl. Phys. Let
