Photonic crystal nanobeam cavities based on 4H-silicon carbide on insulator

The 4H-silicon carbide on insulator(4H-SiC0l)has recently emerged as an attractive material platform for integrated photonics due to its excellent quantum and nonlinear optical properties.Here,we experimentally realize one-dimensional photonic crystal nanobeam cavities on the ion-cutting 4H-SiC0l platform.The cavities exhibit quality factors up to 6.1×10^(3)and mode volumes down to 0.63×[λ/n]^(3)in the visible and near-infrared wavelength range.Moreover,by changing the excitation laser power,the fundamental transverse-electric mode can be dynamically tuned by 0.6 nm with a tuning rate of 33.5 pm/mW.The demonstrated devices offer the promise of an appealing microcavity system for interfacing the optically addressable spin defects in 4H-SiC.
