42. Localized modes in photonic-crystal waveguides are known to be narrow-band. In Fig. we show the wavelength dependence of two such modes (1 and 2) with a resolution of Δ λ = 0.1 nm. In Fig. we observe that the periodic pattern is perturbed at the locations of the arrows at λ = 948.5 nm. In Fig. we observe the localized mode at λ = 948.6 nm, where the perturbations extend maximally in the surrounding photonic crystal. In Fig., at λ = 948.7 nm, the localized modes are suppressed. At λ = 948.9 nm the localized modes have completely vanished (not shown). This demonstrates that these localized modes have a linewidth of Δ λ 0.2 nm, corresponding to Q ∼ 10 3 - 10 4. We have observed ∼ 10 2 localized modes and they fully extend within a range of typically Δ λ < 0.5 nm. The observed linewidths should be considered the upper limit for the true resonance widths, since near-field tips are known to shift and broaden resonances.
