Slow Light with High Normalized Delay Bandwidth Product in Photonic Crystal Line Defect Waveguide
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, to generate slow light with large group index, wideband, and low dispersion in suggested line defect photonic crystal waveguide, a systematic optimization procedure is performed. Two structural parameters in the adjacent rows of the waveguide are carefully adjusted. Dispersion engineering in the proposed structure is done by using plane wave expansion method. By tuning the structural parameters, normalized delay-bandwidth product (NDBP) with nearly constant group index is significantly improved. In the optimum case, a high NDBP of 0.373 with a group index of 38.6 and a bandwidth of 14.97 nm is obtained, while restricting the group-index variation within a 10% range. Also,a negligible group velocity dispersion over a broad wavelength range is obtained that can cause a small expansion of the pulse through the waveguide.

Dispersion-controlled slow light in photonic crystal waveguides
Slow light with a markedly low group velocity is a promising solution for optical buffering and advanced time-domain optical signal processing. It is also anticipated to enhance linear and nonlinear effects and so miniaturize functional photonic devices because slow light compresses optical energy in space. Photonic crystal waveguide devices generate on-chip slow light at room temperature with ...

We investigate the variations of the modulator figure of merit, V(π) × L, as a function of the optical carrier wavelength over the bandwidth of the fun...

Elliptical scatterers possess the properties of anisotropy and multiple degrees of freedom. With the plane wave expansion method, the slow light effect with high ng and low dispersion can be achieved by optimizing the structure parameters of photonic crystal waveguide with line defect, including changing the length of major axis or minor axis, and rotating scatterers relative to the direction o...

This paper reports two advances in a slow light device consisting of chirped photonic crystal slab coupled waveguide on SOI substrate. One is concerning the delay-bandwidth product, indicating the buffering capacity of the device. We experimentally evaluated a record high value of 57 (a 40 ps delay and a 1.4 THz bandwidth). We also observed ~1 ps wide optical pulse transmission in the cross-cor...

We introduce a general designing procedure that allows us, for any given photonic crystal slab, to create an appropriate line defect structure that possesses single-mode bands with large bandwidth and low dispersion within the photonic band-gap region below the light line. This procedure involves designing a high index dielectric waveguide that is phase matched with the gap of the photonic crys...
