Abstract

A tunable optical notch filter was realized by thermally shifting the TM-like (the light's electric field perpendicular to the substrate) bandgap of a silicon photonic crystal slab W1 line-defect waveguide with silica cladding. This device is compact-its footprint is 340 ×16 μm², excluding the electrode pads. The 3-dB bandwidth of the device was about 5 nm, and the extinction ratio at the center wavelength was as high as 40 dB. A maximum center wavelength shift of 17.9 nm was attained at a heating power of 0.7 W, with a tuning efficiency of 25.5 nm/W. The tuning response time was less than 100 μs.
