dc.description.abstractWe propose and demonstrate a method that enables spectral tuning with subnanometer accuracy, and is based on the transmission ministop-band (MSB) in line-defect multimode photonic crystal (PhC) waveguides. The fabricated MSB filter has ultrasharp edges which show a 30 dB drop in transmission in a 4 nm wavelength span. The use of the ultrasharp MSB edge to (optically) determine PhC fabrication accuracy is demonstrated. The wavelength position of the MSB could be tuned by temperature, with a coefficient of 0.1 nm/°C. The spectral characteristics of the MSB realized in this work are promising for sensing, tuning, and modulation applications.
