چکیده
We have designed and fabricated a novel 90 bend in a photonic crystal waveguide. The design was obtained using topology optimization and the fabricated waveguide displays a bend loss for transverse-electric-polarized light of less than 1 dB per bend in a 200-nm wavelength range.

Second order sensitivity analysis for a photonic crystal waveguide bend
Sensitivity analysis provides important information on the tolerance to fabrication imperfections for any designed devices. Standard sensitivity analysis relies on the first order partial derivatives of a response function of the device with respect to the design parameters. These derivatives are also useful in the device optimization process when a gradient based optimization method is used. T...
متن کاملInvestigation and Comparison of Light Propagation in Two Graded Photonic Crystal Structures
In this paper, we study two different Graded Index (GRIN) photonic crystal (PC) structures which are named as structure type I and type II. The PC structures are made of the square rod in an air background. To design a GRIN PC structure the lattice constant has been altered in the direction transverse to propagation. We investigated focusing effect and waveguiding behavior of electr...

متن کاملParallel microgenetic algorithm design for photonic crystal and waveguide structures.
We have developed a powerful parallel genetic algorithm design tool for photonic crystal and waveguide structures. The tool employs a small-population-size genetic algorithm (microgenetic algorithm) for global optimization and a two-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method to rigorously design and optimize the performance of photonic devices. We discuss the implementation and performanc...
متن کاملCompact bends for multi-mode photonic crystal waveguides with high transmission and suppressed modal crosstalk.
We demonstrate an extremely compact bend for a photonic crystal waveguide supporting three spatial modes. The bend exhibits nearly 100% transmission over a relative bandwidth of 1% with less than 1% crosstalk. We show that our design is robust with respect to fabrication errors. Our design method is applied to create a structure consisting of dielectric rods, as well as a structure consisting o...
