摘要 |
The invention provides a multilayer photonic crystal waveguide having a core extending through the waveguide that is bounded on two sides by multilayer photonic crystal mirrors that constrain light on two sides of the core. Lateral constraint of the light is provided by two lateral mirrors. The waveguide may be phase-tunable by applying a voltage to alter a refractive index in the core and optionally in one or more interior mirror layers leading to a shifted dispersion relation of the waveguide. |
