Figure 6

Numerical simulation of carrier diffusion process for a silicon end-hole-shifted photonic crystal cavity. (a), (b), (c) snapshots of the carrier distribution at picoseconds. (c) Shift of the resonance wavelength for the cavity as a function of time with the sidewall nonradiative recombination rate and  cm/s.
