Effective Index Perturbation: Correlations between the Photonic Bandgap and the Donor-Like Defect Mode in Photonic Crystal Slabs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We proposed an effective index perturbation method to investigate the intrinsic characteristics of three-dimensional photonic-crystal-slab based microcavity with two-dimensional numerical simulation tools such as two-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (2D-FDTD) and plane-wave expansion (2D-PWE) techniques, for reduced computational requirements and fast design feedback. Less than 2% computational error in predicting cavity spectral locations was obtained for two widely used single defect and line defect air hole photonic crystal cavities, by adjusting the effective index to match the dielectric band edge for donor-like defect mode. The correlation between the modified effective index and the cavity (lasing) mode with the highest quality factor Q offers an efficient tool in the design of defect mode based photonic crystal microcavities.

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....

In this paper, we present the simulation results on the absorption modification in photonic crystal (PC) structures. For one-dimensional (1D) PC, using transfer matrix method (TMM), we obtained enhanced absorption in both defectfree and defect based PC structures. High absorption (>60%) and small bandwidth (< 0.1 λ0) at defect level were observed with optimal absorption layers of 10-15 for stru...
