Abstract
There is provided a planar waveguide structure (700) having a first core layer (708), a second core layer (704) and a cladding layer (706), wherein the cladding layer (706) is disposed between the first core layer (708) and the second core layer (704) to form an inter-core cladding layer (706). The inter-core cladding layer (706) comprises a first region (722) having a first refractive index and an array of sub-regions (724) formed therein having a second refractive index. The subregions (724) do not extend into either the first or the second core layer, and they give rise to a photonic band structure region, which is effective to perturb an evanescent field of an optical signal propagating through the core layers.
