Excitation of radiative and evanescent defect modes in linear photonic crystal waveguides
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dispersion of line-defect modes in silicon-on-insulator photonic crystal waveguides is explored by means of angleand polarization-resolved micro-reflectance measurements. The frequency-wave vector range accessible to the experiments is greatly expanded by the use of attenuated total reflectance, in addition to the standard one, thereby allowing one to study both truly guided (evanescent) and quasi-guided (radiative) photonic modes. The presence of a supercell repetition in the direction perpendicular to the line defect leads to the simultaneous excitation of defect and bulk modes folded in a reduced Brillouin zone. The group-velocity dispersion of defect modes corresponding to different polarizations of light is fully determined.

Design of photonic crystal waveguides for evanescent coupling to optical fiber tapers and integration with high-Q cavities
We describe a novel scheme based on evanescent guided-wave coupling for optically interfacing between conventional fiber-optic and planar photonic crystal devices such as waveguides and resonant cavities. By considering the band structure of bulk photonic crystal slabs, we analyze the k space properties of a linear defect waveguide and establish a set of design rules to ensure efficient evanesc...
متن کاملAdd-Drop and Channel-Drop Optical Filters Based on Photonic Crystal Ring Resonators
Here, we propose an add-drop and a channel drop filter based on two-dimensional photonic crystal all circular ring resonators. These structures are made of a square lattice of silicon rods with the refractive index n1=3.464 surrounded by air (with refractive index n2=1). The broadest photonic band gap occurs at the filling ratio of r/a = 0.17. Two linear defect W1 waveguides couple to the ring....

The paper addresses the issue of existence of modes guided by linear defects in photonic crystals. Such modes can be created in spectral gaps of the bulk materials and are evanescent in the bulk.
متن کاملRadiative coupling of quantum dots in photonic crystal structures
We derive a general formalism to model the polariton states resulting from the radiation-matter interaction between an arbitrary number of excitonic transitions in semiconductor quantum dots and photon modes in a photonic crystal structure in which the quantum dots are embedded. The Maxwell equations, including the linear nonlocal susceptibility of the exciton transitions in the quantum dots, a...
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...
