Homogenization of 3D finite chiral photonic crystals
نویسندگان
چکیده
We homogenize Maxwell’s equations for Drude-Born-Fedorov chiral crystals, using the multi-scale technique. We find that the homogenized material is described by dispersive anisotropic effective matrices, derived from frequency dependent coupled auxiliary problems. For low frequencies, these matrices may not be positive definite.

Dielectric reflectors that are periodic in one or two dimensions, also known as 1D and 2D photonic crystals, have been widely studied for many potential applications due to the presence of wavelength-tunable photonic bandgaps. However, the unique optical behavior of photonic crystals is based on theoretical models of perfect analogues. Little is known about the practical effects of dielectric i...

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 ...

We report the simulation results for impact of nonlinear Kerr effect on band structures of a two dimensional photonic crystal (2D-PhC) with no defect, a PhC based W1-waveguide (W1W), and also Coupled-Cavity Waveguides (CCWs). All PhC structres are assumed to a square lattice of constant a made of GaAs rods of radius r=0.2a, in an air background. The numerical simulation was performed using...
متن کاملLarge area 3D helical photonic crystals
Three-dimensional helical photonic crystals are attractive for chiral metamaterial devices that mix electrical and magnetic responses. In chiral metamaterials, the refractive index for propagation of light along the axis of the helix is different as the handedness of the circular polarization is parallel or antiparallel to the chiral axis. The refractive index is increased for one circular pola...
