Characterization of 1D photonic crystal nanobeam cavities using curved microfiber [PDF]
, 2010 We investigate high-Q, small mode volume photonic crystal nanobeam cavities using a curved, tapered optical microfiber loop. The strength of the coupling between the cavity and the microfiber loop is shown to depend on the contact position on the ...
