We present a method to control the resonant coupling interaction in a coupled-cavity photonic crystal molecule by using a local and reversible photochromic tuning technique. We demonstrate the ability to tune both a two-cavity and a three-cavity photonic crystal molecule through the resonance condition by selectively tuning the individual cavities. Using this technique, we can quantitatively determine important parameters of the coupled-cavity system such as the photon tunneling rate. This method can be scaled to photonic crystal molecules with larger numbers of cavities, which provides a versatile method for studying strong interactions in coupled resonator arrays.

We demonstrate a method to locally change the refractive index in planar optical devices by photodarkening of a thin chalcogenide glass layer deposited on top of the device. The method is used to tune the resonance of GaAs-based photonic crystal cavi
ties by up to 3 nm at 940 nm, with only 5% deterioration in cavity quality factor. The method has broad applications for postproduction tuning of photonic devices.
We present the design, fabrication, and characterization of high quality factor and small mode volume planar photonic crystal cavities from cubic (3C) thin films (thickness ~ 200 nm) of silicon carbide (SiC) grown epitaxially on a silicon substrate.
We demonstrate cavity resonances across the telecommunications band, with wavelengths from 1,250 - 1,600 nm. Finally, we discuss possible applications in nonlinear optics, optical interconnects, and quantum information science.
We perform spatially dependent tuning of a GaInP photonic crystal cavity using a continuous wave violet laser. Local tuning is obtained by laser heating of the photonic crystal membrane. The cavity resonance shift is measured for different pump posit
ions and for two ambient gases: helium and nitrogen. We find that the width of the temperature profile induced in the membrane depends strongly on the thermal conductivity of the ambient gas. For He gas a narrow spatial width of the temperature profile of 2.8 um is predicted and verified in experiment.
We demonstrate a new photo-induced oxidation technique for tuning GaAs photonic crystal cavities using a $390~mathrm{nm}$ pulsed laser with an average power of $10~mathrm{mu W}$. The laser oxidizes a small $left(sim 500~mathrm{nm}right)$ diameter spo
t, reducing the local index of refraction and blueshifting the cavity. The tuning progress can be actively monitored in real time. We also demonstrate tuning an individual cavity within a pair of proximity-coupled cavities, showing that this method can be used to correct undesired frequency shifts caused by fabrication imperfections in cavity arrays.
By patterning a freestanding dielectric membrane into a photonic crystal reflector (PCR), it is possible to resonantly enhance its normal-incidence reflectivity, thereby realizing a thin, single-material mirror. In many PCR applications, the operatin
g wavelength (e.g. that of a low-noise laser or emitter) is not tunable, imposing tolerances on crystal geometry that are not reliably achieved with standard nanolithography. Here we present a gentle technique to finely tune the resonant wavelength of a SiN PCR using iterative hydrofluoric acid etches. With little optimization, we achieve a 57-nm-thin photonic crystal having an operating wavelength within 0.15 nm (0.04 resonance linewidths) of our target (1550 nm). Our thin structure exhibits a broader and less pronounced transmission dip than is predicted by plane wave simulations, and we identify two effects leading to these discrepancies, both related to the divergence angle of a collimated laser beam. To overcome this limitation in future devices, we distill a series of simulations into a set of general design considerations for realizing robust, high-reflectivity resonances.
