Modeling the propagation of optical beams in three-dimensional photonic crystals
We show that the propagation effects of optical beams in three-dimensional photonic crystal structures can be modeled using a direction-dependent effective diffractive index model. The parameters of the model (i.e., the effective diffractive indices) can be calculated using the curvatures of the band structure of the photonic crystal at the operation point. After finding these indices, the wave...
متن کاملFlat lensing in the visible frequency range by woodpile photonic crystals.
We experimentally demonstrate full two-dimensional focalization of light beams at visible frequencies by a three-dimensional woodpile photonic crystal. The focalization (the flat lensing) with focal distances of the order of 50-70 μm is experimentally demonstrated. Experimental results are compared with numerical calculations and interpreted by harmonic expansion studies.
متن کاملEfficient excitation of self-collimated beams and single Bloch modes in planar photonic crystals.
Using finite-difference time-domain calculations, we investigate out-of-plane coupling between a square-lattice planar photonic crystal and a conventional waveguide located above the photonic crystal. We couple a waveguide oriented in the gamma(chi) direction to a photonic crystal mode in the second band and show that anticrossing takes place. In this way, a self-collimated beam is launched in ...
متن کاملSensitivity Enhancement of Ring Laser Gyroscope Using Dielectric-Graphene Photonic Crystal
In a ring laser gyroscope, due to the rotation and the Sagnac effect, a phase difference between the two counter-propagating beams is generated. In this device, the higher phase difference between these two beams causes the better the interference pattern detection, and thus the sensitivity is increased. In this paper, the effect of inserting a dielectric-graphene photonic crystal inside a ring...
متن کاملResonant transmission of self-collimated beams through coupled zigzag-box resonators: slow self-collimated beams in a photonic crystal.
The resonant transmission of self-collimated beams through zigzag-box resonators is demonstrated experimentally and numerically. Numerical simulations show that the flat-wavefront and the width of the beam are well maintained after passing through zigzag-box resonators because the up and the down zigzag-sides prevent the beam from spreading out and the wavefront is perfectly reconstructed by th...
