Single mode reflector using a nanobeam cavity
An integrated circuit includes an optical reflector with one or two bus optical waveguides and a one-dimensional, photonic crystal nanobeam cavity to provide single-mode reflection with a narrow bandwidth. In particular, the nanobeam cavity may be implemented on a nanobeam-cavity optical waveguide (such as a channel or ridge optical waveguide), which is optically coupled to the one or two bus optical waveguides. The nanobeam-cavity optical waveguide may include notches along a symmetry axis of the nanobeam-cavity optical waveguide that are partially etched from edges of the nanobeam-cavity optical waveguide toward a center of the nanobeam-cavity optical waveguide. Furthermore, a fill factor of the notches may vary as a function of location along the symmetry axis, while a pitch of the notches is unchanged, to define the nanobeam cavity.
