title: Influence of structural variations on high-Q microcavities in two-dimensional photonic crystal slabs.
abstract: The influence of some critical structural variations in high-Q microcavities in two-dimensional photonic crystal slabs is investigated. All the cavities studied maintain a high Q in a wide range of structural variations, while the resonant frequencies shift on a relatively large scale when the structural variations are comparable to the physical sizes of the cavities.
