Purcell factor and superradiance in Si-patterned waveguides

Opt Lett. 2010 Oct 15;35(20):3384-6. doi: 10.1364/OL.35.003384.

Abstract

Numerical modeling of slotted photonic crystal Si waveguides is reported. Employing multiple slots in a single waveguide, we obtained large Purcell enhancements for a large ensemble of emitters coupled with the same optical mode. This allows observation of peculiar physical phenomena, such as anisotropic bandgap superradiance.
