چکیده
We investigate the electromagnetic propagation in two-dimensional photonic crystals, formed by parallel dielectric cylinders embedded a uniform medium. The frequency band structure is computed using the standard plane-wave expansion method, while the propagation and scattering of the electromagnetic waves are calculated by the multiple scattering theory. It is shown that within partial bandgaps, the waves tend to bend away from the forbidden directions. Such a property may render novel applications in manipulating optical flows. In addition, the relevance with the imaging by flat photonic crystal slabs will also be discussed.

Photonic crystal ring resonators (PCRRs) are traditional structures fordesigning optical channel drop filters. In this paper, Photonic crystal channel drop filter(CDFs) with a new configuration of ring resonator is presented. The structure is made ofa square lattice of silicon rods with the refractive index nsi=3. 4 which are perforated inair with refractive index nair=1. Calculations of band s...
متن کاملImprovement of Optical Properties in Hexagonal Index-guiding Photonic Crystal Fiber for Optical Communications
Waveguides with low confinement loss, low chromatic dispersion, and low nonlinear effects are used in optical communication systems. Optical fibers can also be employed in such systems. Besides optical fibers, photonic crystal fibers are also highly suitable transmission media for optical communication systems. In this paper, we introduce two new designs of index-guiding photonic crystal fiber ...
متن کاملAll optical 1 to 2 decoder based on photonic crystal ring resonator
In this paper we combined an optical mixer via photonic crystal ringresonator to propose an all optical 1 to 2 decoder. The main idea used in this paper isbased on controlling the optical behavior of the resonant ring via optical powerintensity. We know that resonant wavelength of the photonic crystal ring resonator isvery sensitive upon the refractive index of dielectric rods, on the other had...
متن کاملOptical and Confinement Properties of Two-Dimensional Photonic Crystals
We describe experiments on a quasi-two-dimensional (2-D) optical system consisting of a triangular array of air cylinders etched through a laser-like Ga(Al)As waveguiding heterostructure. Such a configuration is shown to yield results very well approximated by the infinite 2-D photonic crystal (PC). We first present a set of measurements of the optical properties (transmission, reflection, and ...
