چکیده

We present a numerical approach to extract group index in photonic crystal (PhC) waveguides using two- and three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain methods and make a quantitative study of the effects of loss on slow light propagation in PhC waveguides. PhC waveguides are simulated with varying material loss and varying PhC waveguide length. Finally, we validate our method by comparing three-dimensional simulation results with experimental results.

Improvement of Optical Properties in Hexagonal Index-guiding Photonic Crystal Fiber for Optical Communications

Waveguides with low confinement loss, low chromatic dispersion, and low nonlinear effects are used in optical communication systems. Optical fibers can also be employed in such systems. Besides optical fibers, photonic crystal fibers are also highly suitable transmission media for optical communication systems. In this paper, we introduce two new designs of index-guiding photonic crystal fiber ...

Two-curve-shaped biosensor using photonic crystal nano-ring resonators

We design a novel nano-ring resonator using two-dimensional photonic crystal (2D-PhC), for bio-sensing applications. The structure of biosensor is created by two-curve-shaped ring resonator which sandwiched by two waveguides. These are configured by removing one row of air holes. The refractive index of sensing hole is changed by binding an analyte. Hence, intensity of the transmission spectrum...

Add-Drop and Channel-Drop Optical Filters Based on Photonic Crystal Ring Resonators

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....

Analysis of Protein Concentration Based on Photonic Crystal Ring Resonator

In this paper, homogeneous, wavelength shift biosensor is designed for sensing the protein concentration using two dimensional Photonic Crystal Ring Resonator (PCRR). The sensor is designed to monitor the protein concentration from 0% to 100%. The proposed sensor is composed of periodic Si rods embedded in an air host with a circular PCRR that is placed between the inline quasi waveguides. It i...
