ABSTRACT:
In an optical device, a slab layer has an active layer sandwiched between two cladding layers. Periodic air holes are present in the slab layer. A linear defect region is present in a part of the air hole structures. As a result, laser oscillation is generated at the band end in a two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguide mode.
