Correction to: Pressure Sensor Based on Quantum Well-Structured Photonic Crystal

Design and simulation of a pressure sensor based on a two dimensional photonic crystal slab of PbMoO4

In this paper the design and three dimensions (3D) simulation of a photonic crystal (PC) pressure sensor is presented. The device is based on a 2D PC slab of PbMoO4. The simulations are based on finite element method (FEM) and finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and are done using CST STUDIO SUITE software. The sensitivity of the proposed sensor is calculated by considering the deformat...

Design and Simulation of a New Highly Sensitive Gas Sensor Based on Negative Refraction Photonic Crystal

In this paper, design and simulation of a new highly sensitive gas sensor based on a hybrid photonic crystal (PC) structure, containing negative and positive refractive index sections, is presented. It has been shown that using a PC with negative refraction in the first section, the transmitted power is concentrated on the entrance of the sensing channel, and the transmission of the proposed se...

A Systematic Approach to Photonic Crystal Based Metamaterial Design

Photonic crystal design procedure for negative refraction has so far been based on trial and error. In this paper, for the first time, a novel and systematic design procedure based on physical and mathematical properties of photonic crystals is proposed to design crystal equi-frequency contours (EFCs) to produce negative refraction. The EFC design is performed by the help of rectangular stair-c...

Quantum well photodetector in a free-standing photonic crystal slab

The fascinating optical properties of photonic crystals (PCs) have lead to numerous new devices or ways to improve existing device characteristics [1]. Photonic crystal slabs (PCS) are of particular interest due to their strong resonant behavior and three-dimensional light confinement, while being compatible with standard semiconductor technology. In this work, we present a photodetector within...
