Abstract

Fano resonance is analyzed by measuring the transmission and reflection from a photonic crystal slab containing a hexagonal symmetry of holes in silicon fabricated by electron beam lithography. The spectral features in the measured transmission and angle dependent reflection are in good agreement with those calculated using rigorous coupled wave analysis method (using DiffractMOD module of RSoft\(^{\mathrm {TM}}\)). This provides a convincing proof to this versatile and convenient out-of-plane measurement technique. In our photonic crystal, the quality factors measured at 1314, 1328, 1377, 1599, and 1630 nm are high and can be utilized for designing low-threshold micro-lasers and narrowband optical filters in the silicon slab platform.
