In this article, we report modeling, simulation, and analysis of shifting 2D photonic crystal cavity side holes in GaN-AlN-sapphire layered structure. The design was simulated with Lumerical finite-difference time-domain. A lattice constant a, 157 nm, and a hole diameter d, 106 nm, were used in the design. The cavities are based on L3, which we demonstrated by simply shifting two holes away from a line cavity with distances of 132, 142, and 152 nm, respectively. The highest quality factor, Q, value achieved is 2.25 × 104 at 152-nm cavity distance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
