Two-dimensional photonic crystals designed by evolutionary algorithms
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use evolutionary algorithms to design photonic crystal structures with large band gaps. Starting from randomly generated photonic crystals, the algorithm yielded a photonic crystal with a band gap sdefined as the gap to midgap ratiod as large as 0.3189. This band gap is an improvement of 12.5% over the best human design using the same index contrast platform. © 2005 American Institute of Physics. fDOI: 10.1063/1.1862783g

Novel two-dimensional photonic crystals designed by evolutionary algorithms
We use evolutionary algorithms to search the space of two-dimensional photonic crystals with maximum bandgaps for a given index contrast. The unit-cells of the photonic crystal are represented as bitmaps which are either directly encoded or generated through bottom-up and top-down construction trees. The fitness criterion rewards for partial band gaps and is evaluated by solving for the photoni...
متن کاملDesign and Analysis of a Novel Hexagonal Shaped Channel Drop Filter Based on Two-Dimensional Photonic Crystals
In this paper a new optical channel drop filter (CDF) based on two dimensional (2-D) photonic crystals (PhC) with hexagonal shaped structure is proposed and numerically demonstrated by using the finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) and plane-wave-expansion (PWE) techniques. Photonic crystals (PhCs) are artificial dielectric nanostructure materials in which a periodic modulation of the material ...
متن کاملPhase Properties of One-Dimensional Quaternary Photonic Crystals
In this paper, properties of reflection phase in one-dimensional quaternary photonic crystals combining dispersive meta-materials and positive index materials are investigated by transfer matrix method. Two omnidirectional band gaps are located in the band structure of considered structure. However, we limit our studies to the frequency range of the second wide band gap. We observe that the val...

متن کاملA Novel Structure for Optical Channel Drop Filter using Two-Dimensional Photonic Crystals with Square Lattice
In the present paper a novel structure for optical channel drop filter (CDF) based on photonic crystal ring resonator with circular core has been proposed. In order to design the proposed CDF, the plan wave expansion (PWE) method is applied for calculation of band structure and photonic band gap while the transmission characteristics of proposed CDF have been calculated using the finite differe...
