Self-action of Light in Photonic Crystals
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the results of z-scan studies carried out on photonic crystals and microcavities made of Bi:YIG, showing the enhancement of light self-action in the vicinity of the microcavity mode and the wavelength-dependent intensity localization in certain type layers at the longwavelength edge of the photonic bandgap.

Influence of optical Kerr coefficient on photonic band structures of hexagonal-lattice function photonic crystals
In this paper, we have studied the photonic band structure of function photonic crystals in which the dielectric constant of the scattering centers (rods) is a function of space coordinates. The under-studied lattice is hexagonal and cross section of rods has a circular symmetry embedded in the air background. Photonic band structures for both electric and magnetic polarizations of the electrom...
متن کاملDesign and Analysis of a Novel Hexagonal Shaped Channel Drop Filter Based on Two-Dimensional Photonic Crystals
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 ...
متن کاملBand Structures for 2D Photonic Crystals in Presence of Nonlinear Kerr Effect Calculated by Use of Nonlinear Finite Difference Time Domain (NFDTD) Method
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 کاملAnalytical Investigation of TM Surface Waves in 1D Photonic Crystals Capped by a Self-Focusing Left-Handed Slab
In this paper, the localized TM surface waves of a nonlinear self-focusingleft-handed slab sandwiched between a uniform medium and a one-dimensionalphotonic crystal (1D PC) is analytically investigated. Our method is based on the firstintegral of the nonlinear Maxwell's equations. For the TM surface waves, the presenceof two electric field components makes the analysis difficult. Therefore, we ...
متن کاملFinite-Difference Time-Domain Simulation of Light Propagation in 2D Periodic and Quasi-Periodic Photonic Structures
Ultra-short pulse is a promising technology for achieving ultra-high data rate transmission which is required to follow the increased demand of data transport over an optical communication system. Therefore, the propagation of such type of pulses and the effects that it may suffer during its transmission through an optical waveguide has received a great deal of attention in the recent years. We...
