Reconfigurable microfluidic photonic crystal cavities

We demonstrate spectral and spatial reconfigurability of silicon photonic crystal cavities by microfluidic infiltration of selected air-holes. High Q-factors for a broad range of cavity lengths are shown, highlighting the flexibility of our approach.
