精确的一维光子晶体的带隙

半导体材料的折射率是光频率的函数,所以在计算光子晶体的能带结构时必须考虑到色散关系。光子晶体存在光子禁带在反射谱上表现为高反射率带。本文已GaAs基材料为例,利用传输矩阵方法计算了考虑色散后的一维光子晶体的反射谱,计算结果表明考虑色散后的光子晶体禁带的宽度较不考虑色散关系的光子晶体的带隙要窄,如果光子晶体中存在缺陷则考虑色散后的光子晶体缺陷态的位置较不考虑色散关系时红移,且光子损耗较小。

Investigation of Absolute Photonic Band Gaps in Two-dimensional Dielectric Structures

Abstract

We examine the photonic band structure of two-dimensional (2D) arrays of dielectric holes using the coherent microwave transient spectroscopy (COMITS) technique. Such 2D hole arrays are constructed by embedding low-index rods (air) in a dielectric background of higher-index Stycast material (n = 3·60). The dispersion relation for electromagnetic wave propagation in these photonic crystals is directly determined using the phase sensitivity of COMITS. We find that both the square and triangular lattice structures exhibit photonic band gaps that are common to both polarizations for all wave-vectors along major symmetry axes. In addition, the connectivity of the high-index dielectric and the opening of a large gap for propagation with E field perpendicular to the hole cylinders are found to be important criteria for generating a large absolute photonic band gap.

A simple perturbative tool to calculate plasmonic photonic bandstructures

We use first order perturbation theory to study the effect of surface plasmon polaritons on the photonic band structure of plasmonic photonic crystals. Our results are based on a simple numerical tool that we have developed to extend the standard frequency domain methods to compute the photonic band structure of plasmonic photonic crystals. For a two-dimensional honeycomb photonic crystal with a lattice constant of 500 nm placed on an aluminium substrate, we show that the band gap for TM modes is enhanced by 13%. Thus a slight variation in the effective dielectric function results in a plasmonic band structure that is not scale-invariant, which is reminiscent of the inherent non-linear properties of the effective dielectric constant.     

Investigation of TE-polarized photonic band gap properties in matallodielectric photonic crystals composed of metal coated dielectric cylinders

Using the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map method and generalization of this method, we have been able to calculate the photonic band structure of two-dimensional (2D) metallodielectric photonic crystals composed of metal-coated circular dielectric rods. The rods are embedded in an air background with a square array. We are interested in considering transverse electric (TE) mode of electromagnetic waves. The resulting band structures show the existence of photonic band gaps as well as some flat band regions. We theoretically study the effect of the dielectric constant and radius of the dielectric core on the photonic band structures. There are some interesting results compared to the case of solid metallic rods (without dielectric core) such as appearing the new photonic band gaps and a flat band region with the characteristic of cavity modes.

Low chromatic dispersion and high birefringence investigated in elliptical air hole photonic crystal fiber

An index-guided, two-dimensional photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with triangular lattice and solid air core was designed and investigated using the effective index method. A modal analysis of three-ring elliptical air hole photonic crystal fiber is presented: first the innermost ring was made elliptical and then the cells of the inner two rings were made elliptical and finally all three rings contained elliptical cells. The above configuration was then compared with three-ring circular air hole photonic crystal fiber keeping the area of air holes and simulation parameters of the wafer the same to obtain the fundamental space-filling mode (FSM). The analysis was performed using full vector FDTD for TE and TM polarizations. The complex effective refractive index generated was then used to calculate the chromatic dispersion and birefringence properties of the PCF.     

Thermal properties and two-dimensional photonic band gaps

The effect of temperature on a two-dimensional square lattice photonic crystal composed of Si rods arranged in an air background was investigated theoretically using the plane-wave expansion method. Both the thermal expansion effect and thermo-optical effect are considered simultaneously. We have discussed the role of temperature in creating the complete photonic band gap as a function of temperature. Two different shapes of rods, i.e. square and circular, are considered in the presence of the two polarization states, i.e. TE and TM waves. The numerical results show that the photonic band gap can be significantly enlarged compared to the photonic band gap at room temperature. The effect of temperature on the complete photonic band width in the cylindrical rods case is more significant. Cylindrical and square Si rods may work as a temperature sensor or filter, among many other potential applications.     

Evolution of complete photonic band gap in anisotropic photonic quasicrystals using liquid crystals

Abstract

In this study, we analyse the evolution of complete photonic band gap in two-dimensional photonic structures by arranging the 12-fold symmetric quasicrystalline unit cells on square and triangular lattices. The unit cells composed of circular air holes in anisotropic tellurium background and the air holes are infiltrated with liquid crystal. Using the supercell method based on plane wave expansion, we study the variation of complete band gap by changing the optical axis orientation of liquid crystals.
