Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate that resonances in a system of coupled L0-type photonic crystal microcavities can have higher quality factor (Q~15,000) than an uncoupled cavity (Q~4,000), which is critical for sensing applications. We study theoretically the origins of higher Q with respect to bonding and anti-bonding states of coupled photonic molecules.
