Query: Slow-wave effect and mode-profile matching in Photonic Crystal
  microcavities   Physical mechanisms involved in the light confinement in photonic crystal
slab microcavities are investigated. We first present a full three-dimensional
numerical study of these microcavities. Then, to gain physical insight into the
confinement mechanisms, we develop a Fabry-Perot model. This model provides
accurate predictions and sheds new light on the physics of light confinement.
We clearly identify two mechanisms to enhance the Q factor of these
microcavities. The first one consists in improving the mode-profile matching at
the cavity terminations and the second one in using a slow wave in the cavity.
