Band Structures for 2D Photonic Crystals in Presence of Nonlinear Kerr Effect ‎Calculated by Use of Nonlinear Finite Difference Time Domain (NFDTD) Method‎

Authors

Abstract:

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 the nonlinear finite difference time domain ‎‎(NFDTD) technique. To study the impact of Kerr effect on the photonic band structures, E-‎polarized lights of peak input intensities 0.5 GW-cm−2≤I≤25 GW-cm−2 have been used. The ‎numerical results have shown that as the input light intensity increases, the band edges for all ‎PhC waveguide structures considered experience red shifts. These numerical results for CCWs ‎also show that the larger the light input intensity, the smaller is the corresponding maximum ‎light group velocity.‎

Finite-difference time-domain analysis of band structures in one-dimensional Kerr-nonlinear photonic crystals

We present a new approach for analyzing band structures in one-dimensional Kerr-nonlinear photonic crystals. It combines the finite-difference time-domain method, based on the numerical simulation of oscillating dipole radiation, with the Kerr-nonlinear model. The approach is applied to analyze the band structures in Kerr-nonlinear one-dimensional photonic crystals as a function of the intensit...

Finite-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...

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...

Simulation of Nonlinear Optical Effects in Photonic Crystals Using the Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method

iii Acknowledgements Of all the things that seemed to fall into place when I was starting my graduate student career, one of the most significant was being selected a new professor at Georgia Tech to join his research group. Working with Dr. Ali Adibi has proved to be a great opportunity, as he strived to make my time at Georgia Tech as profitable as possible. I am overwhelmed with appreciation...
