【受賞した研究の説明】
High quality factor (Q-factor) is essential for enhancing light-matter interaction in a photonic crystal (PhC) nanocavity. Among various PhC cavity designs, the H1 nanocavity has attracted considerable attention because it provides a compact platform for studying degenerate optical modes. In this study, we propose an H1 PhC nanocavity design that supports two degenerate TE quadrupole modes with Q-factors exceeding 1 million. To the best of our knowledge, this value represents the highest Q-factor ever reported for quadrupole modes in H1 PhC nanocavities.
