We investigated the optical characteristics of higher-order resonant modes for a heterostructure nanocavity formed in a two-dimensional photonic-crystal silicon slab. Two kinds of resonant modes were observed, the nanocavity modes and the Fabry–Pérot modes. High quality factors of more than were obtained not only for the nanocavity mode but also for the Fabry–Pérot modes.
