Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>We report a simple design of high quality‐factor (<italic>Q</italic>) three‐dimensional woodpile photonic crystal (PC) nanocavity with vertically mirror‐symmetric structure, which can be realized by changing the stacking order of layers above the cavity layer from ordinary woodpile structures. A <italic>Q</italic> of 1.7×10⁵ in the mirror‐symmetric structure was obtained with a relatively small PC size. This is ∼3.6 times as high as the maximum <italic>Q</italic> of the same nanocavity embedded in an ordinary woodpile structure of the same PC volume. (© 2013 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH &amp; Co.
