We demonstrate that resonant wavelength of photonic crystal (PhC) nanobeam cavities can be individually post-fabrication tuned by electron beam irradiation. By measuring the transmission spectrum of the cavities before and after trimming, it is shown that resonant wavelength shifts are proportional to the scanning time and the acceleration voltage. Furthermore, larger resonant wavelength shifts can be achieved by scanning the region where the electric field is highly localized. The measurement results show that the resonant wavelength difference can be reduced from 5.5 nm (before trimming) to 0.4 nm (after trimming), while the quality factor of the cavities can be maintained.
