The development of an efficient silicon-based nanolight source is an important step for silicon-based photonic integrated circuits. We propose a high quality factor photonic crystal nanocavity consisting of silicon and silica, which can be used as a silicon-compatible nanolight source. We show that this cavity can effectively confine lights in a low-index silica layer with a high confinement factor of 0.25, in which rare-earth dopants can be embedded as gain materials. The cavity is optimized to have a high quality factor of 15,000 and a mode volume of 0.01 μm3, while the resonance has a wavelength of 1537 nm. We expect that the high confinement factor in the thin silica layer and the high quality factor of the proposed cavity enable the cavity to be a good candidate for silicon-compatible nanolight sources for use in nanolasers or light-emitting diodes in the telecommunication wavelength region.
