Abstract
Confinement of light to small volumes has important implications for optical emission properties: it changes the probability of spontaneous emission from atoms, allowing both enhancement and inhibition [1]. In a similar way, light can be confined within a very small volume formed in a one-dimensional photonic crystal (PhC) microcavity. An efficient coupling technique that can reduce the mode mismatch at the interface between the waveguide and PhC modes has been investigated.
