Abstract
This article introduces the development and enhancement of a side-coupled chalcogenide-based 2D PhC nanobeam cavity in the mid-IR spectral range. The structure configuration consists of 2D PhC nanobeam and side-coupled bending bus waveguide for efficient light coupling. Through numerical simulation and optimization, we optimized three key parameters: the number of mirror holes, the radius of the central hole of the nanobeam cavity, and the optimized coupling gap size, improving the quality factor of the primary mode of the cavity. The cavities exhibit high Q factors and low modal volumes, making them attractive for various applications, including laser, sensing, nonlinear optics, optical trapping, and quantum technologies. Regarding applications, this allows us to compare optical devices with each other.
