On Guided Electromagnetic Waves in Photonic Crystal Waveguides
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the issue of existence and confinement of electromagnetic modes guided by linear defects in photonic crystals. Sufficient conditions are provided for the existence of such waves near a given spectral location. Confinement to the guide is achieved due to a photonic band gap in the bulk dielectric medium.

Coupled photonic crystal waveguides in hexagonal lattices
We investigate the dispersion curves of coupled waveguides in hexagonal lattices. We show that hexagonal PCW lattices have coupling coefficients that change magnitude and sign along the BZ. It is also shown that the modes of these structures no longer form odd and even modes but are superposed in a more general sense.

متن کاملExperimental observation of strong photon localization in disordered photonic crystal waveguides.
We demonstrate experimentally that structural perturbations imposed on highly dispersive photonic crystal-based waveguides give rise to spectral features that bear signatures of Anderson localization. Sharp resonances with effective Q's of over 30 000 are found in scattering spectra of disordered waveguides. The resonances are observed in a approximately 20-nm bandwidth centered at the cutoff o...
متن کاملOn the spectrum of waveguides in planar photonic bandgap structures
We study a Helmholtz-type spectral problem related to the propagation of electromagnetic waves in photonic crystal waveguides. The waveguide is created by introducing a linear defect into a twodimensional periodic medium; the defect is infinitely extended and aligned with one of the coordinate axes. This perturbation introduces guided mode spectrum inside the band gaps of the fully periodic, un...
متن کاملGuiding, bending, and splitting of electromagnetic waves in highly confined photonic crystal waveguides
We have experimentally demonstrated the guiding, bending, and splitting of electromagnetic ~EM! waves in highly confined waveguides built around three-dimensional layer-by-layer photonic crystals by removing a single rod. Full transmission of the EM waves was observed for straight and bended waveguides. We also investigated the power splitter structures in which the input EM power could be effi...
متن کاملOptical Filter Based On Point Defects in 2D Photonic Crystal Structur
In this paper, we proposed a novel structure for designing all optical filter based on photonic crystal structure. In designing the proposed filter, we simply employed a point defect localized between input and output waveguides as wavelength selecting part of the filter. The initial form of this filter is capable of selecting optical waves at =1560 nm, the transmission efficiency of the filte...
