In this contribution we present the preliminary results of the experimental characterisation of Mesoscopic Photonic Crystal membrane-based microcavities. Thanks to the Mesoscopic Self-Collimation phenomenon, it is possible to achieve a full light confinement for non-paraxial excitation even in all positive-index, right-handed linear material based 1D Fabry-Pérot-like cavities having straight mirrors. The translational invariance offered by this geometry and the high Q factor make these cavities captivating for biochemical sensing, optical tweezing and nanoparticle manipulation.

Abstract
In this contribution we present the preliminary results of the experimental characterisation of Mesoscopic Photonic Crystal membrane-based microcavities. Thanks to the Mesoscopic Self-Collimation phenomenon, it is possible to achieve a full light confinement for non-paraxial excitation even in all positive-index, right-handed linear material based 1D Fabry-Pérot-like cavities having straight mirrors. The translational invariance offered by this geometry and the high Q factor make these cavities captivating for biochemical sensing, optical tweezing and nanoparticle manipulation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
