We investigate the dependence of quality factor Q of dipole modes in photonic crystal H1-defect nanocavity on the slab thickness and observe an increase of Q even after closing of the photonic bandgap both in numerical simulation and experimentation. This counter intuitive behavior results from the weak coupling between the cavity mode and the 2nd-guided mode in the photonic crystal slab. This is confirmed by computing the overlap between them in the momentum space.
