Abstract
A novel waveguide-based 1-D photonic crystal (PhC) microcavity that simultaneously transmits light within the
1310- and 1550-nm wavelength telecommunications bands has been realized. A novel semianalytical model based on
wave-vector diagrams was developed to enable rapid optimization of the 1-D PhC with complex periodicity to be etched
into an SOI ridge waveguide. Measurements of the multiwavelength transmission characteristics of the resulting
complex PhC microcavity revealed transmission peaks at 1321 and 1562 nm with nearly equal transmittivity that is
close to the design specification.
