Observation of large parity-change-induced dispersion in triangular-lattice photonic crystal waveguides using phase sensitive techniques

We experimentally studied W1 triangular-lattice photonic crystal waveguides (PCWs) fabricated on semiconductor-on-insulator substrates using phase-sensitive lock-in techniques. In addition to the improved signal-to-noise ratio for power transmission measurements, we observed two large group delay peaks at frequencies corresponding to the photonic mode gap and parity changes of Bloch modes inside the PCWs.
