Quality factor of two-dimensional photonic crystals microcavity fabricated by SiO₂/ZrO₂ or SiO₂/TiO₂ in which the refractive index varied in the range of 1.51 to 1.58 has been investigated in the present paper. The structure studied consists of circular rods of radius r embedded in air slab, while a is the constant of triangular lattice. Finite difference time domain method with perfectly matched layers was used to calculate the transmission spectrum by FullWAVE software. The results of simulation clearly demonstrate the existences of resonance wavelength of which the position and the highest Q (Q ≈ 4×10⁵) value are strongly affected by refractive index. We demonstrate that the calculated Q factor for the designed cavity increases by a factor of three relative for a cavity without increasing the refractive index.
