Abstract

In this work we present the results obtained on the simulation and nanofabrication of photonic crystals based on silicon nanopillars. The simulations show the formation of photonic band gaps within 1.31 and 1.89μm, with a gap-to-midgap ratio approaching 40%. The introduction of waveguides and cavities prove the adaptability of these structures to tune the wavelengths allowed to be transmitted through the system within the photonic band gaps. On the other hand, thanks to the use of advanced nanofabrication techniques, the modelled structures have been successfully fabricated.
