Space group theory and Fourier space analysis of two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguides
نویسندگان
چکیده
The symmetry, Fourier space and space group properties of two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguides are discussed. The modes of the standard single missing line defect waveguide can be classified as even or odd along the transverse direction. This is contrasted with the modes of line defect waveguides with a glide plane along the propagation direction. In this case the spatial Fourier series components of a single mode alternate between even and odd. The theory of symmorphic and nonsymmorphic space groups is used to classify the modes of these two waveguides, and the pairwise degeneracy at the Brillouin zone boundary is predicted for the waveguide with a glide-plane. Three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain numerical calculations are used to illustrate the investigated symmetry properties.

In this paper, we report our experimental study on two-dimensional photonic crystal slabs embedded inside parallel-plate metal waveguides, using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. We observe that the temporal response of the photonic crystal slabs is significantly dispersed, indicative of strong dispersion near the edges of the photonic band gap. In the frequency domain, we observe several gap...
متن کاملNumerical Analysis of Two-Dimensional Photonic Crystal Waveguide Devices Using Periodic Boundary Conditions
Introduction Photonic crystal is a periodic structure consisting of high contrast dielectrics, in which the electromagnetic wave cannot transmit in a specific wavelength range. It is therefore known that, if localized defects are introduced in the photonic crystal, the electromagnetic fields are strongly confined around the defects. For example, point defects in the photonic crystal work as res...
