    Abstract

    The performance of nanophotonic building blocks such as photonic wires and photonic crystals are rapidly improving, with very low propagation loss and very high cavity Q-factors being reported. In order to facilitate further improvements in performance the ability to quantitatively measure topological imperfections such as sidewall roughness on a sub-nm scale becomes essential. In this paper we use atomic force microscopy (AFM) on tilted samples to obtain the most detailed sidewall roughness measurements yet on nanophotonic structures.
