High-quality cavities in hybrid material systems have various interesting applications. We perform a comprehensive modeling comparison on such a design, where confinement in the III-V material is provided by gradual photonic crystal tuning, a recently proposed method offering strong resonances. The III-V cavity couples to an underlying silicon waveguide. We report on the device properties using four simulation methods: finite-difference time-domain (FDTD), finite-element method (FEM), bidirectional eigenmode propagation (BEP) and aperiodic rigorous coupled wave analysis (aRCWA). We explain the major confinement and coupling effects, consistent with the simulation results. E.g. for strong waveguide coupling, we find quantitative discrepancies between the methods, which establishes the proposed high-index-contrast, lossy, 3D structure as a challenging modeling benchmark.
