利用传输矩阵法研究了正负折射率材料构成的异质结构光子晶体的光学传输特性。结果表明:当入射波正入射时,在这种异质结构光子晶体内出现了光子带隙,并且带隙内出现了3个极窄的透射峰,这是正负交替光子晶体和常规材料构成的同周期一维异质结构光子晶体所不具有的新颖物理特性。计算了这种异质结构光子晶体的透射谱。发现:这3个透射峰不敏感于入射角的变化,而在带隙两侧的透射峰则会随着入射角增大统一向带隙靠近;能带敏感于晶格厚度和周期数的变化。     

Photonic band gaps in two-dimensional photonic crystals of core-shell-type dielectric nanorod heterostructures

A new type of two-dimensional photonic crystal (PC) called core-shell-type PC composed of a nanorod heterostructure array in a square or triangular lattice such that a dielectric nanorod is covered by a thin interfacial layer is studied. Using the plane-wave numerical expansion method, we study the modification of the band gap spectrum when the nanorods are covered by other material, and reveal that the photonic band gap is considerably enhanced in size for both square and triangular lattice. The effects of structural parameters on the band gaps are also studied. The results show that there exist optimal parameters to open large gaps, and TE (Transverse-electric) band gaps are favored in a triangular lattice.     

Photonic Crystal Polarizing and Non-Polarizing Beam Splitters

A polarizing beam splitter （PBS） and a non-polarizing beam splitter （NPBS） based on a photonic crystal （PC） directional coupler are demonstrated. The photonic crystal directional coupler consists of a hexagonal lattice of dielectric pillars in air and has a complete photonic band gap. The photonic band structure and the band gap map are calculated using the plane wave expansion （PWE） method. The splitting properties of the splitter are investigated numerically using the finite difference time domain （FDTD） method.     

Diffractionless optical networking in an inverse opal photonic band gap micro-chip

We present a design for a photonic crystal (PC) all-optical micro-chip based on a three-dimensional (3D) inverse opal heterostructure intercalated with a two-dimensional (2D) triangular lattice photonic crystal slab. Within the 2D micro-chip layer, we demonstrate single-mode (diffractionless) waveguiding of light in air, throughout a bandwidth of more than 70 nm near 1.55 μm. This suggests that inverse opal photonic band gap (PBG) materials can facilitate on-chip optical networking functions over the telecommunication frequency band used in current-day optical fibers.

Absolute photonic band gaps in a two-dimensional photonic crystal with hollow anisotropic rods

The plane-wave expansion method is used to calculate photonic band gaps for two structures with hollow anisotropic tellurium (Te) rods. Both structures are found to have absolute band gaps at the low- and high-frequency regions. Compared with the photonic crystal with solid Te rods, the photonic crystal with hollow Te rods has a large absolute band gap at the high-frequency region: for the triangular lattice of oval hollow Te rods, there is an absolute band gap of 0.058w_e (w_e=2πc/a), and for the square lattice of square hollow Te rods, there is an absolute band gap of 0.056w_e.     

Analysis of two-dimensional photonic band gap structure with a rhombus lattice

The relative band gap for a rhombus lattice photonic crystal is studied by plane wave expansion method and high frequency structure simulator (HFSS) simulation. General wave vectors in the first Briliouin zone are derived. The relative band gap as a function of air-filling factor and background material is investigated, respectively, and the nature of photonic band gap for different lattice angles is analyzed by the distribution of electric energy. These results would provide theoretical instruction for designing optical integrated devices using photonic crystal with a rhombus lattice.     

Research of band gap properties based on two-dimensional photonic crystal with mixed shapes of rods

Two new structures of photonic crystals were designed. The band gap properties of photonic crystals with square and circular dielectric rods mixed arrangement are researched. The band gap properties of mixed shapes rods photonic crystal are calculated and compared with the crystals with square rods or round rods by using plane wave expansion method. Simulation results show that for the square lattice, mixed shapes of rods make the higher-order bands of TM modes moving toward the low frequency range. The gap bands’ widths and locations are between the parameters of square and round rods photonic crystal. In triangle lattice, a significant band gap is presented in photonic crystal with mixed shapes of rods in TE mode, while it is almost not presented in square and round rods crystals. The phenomenon of bands moving toward the low frequency range is also found in the triangle lattice mixed shapes rods photonic crystal. The reasons of the results in the vision were analyzed.     

Large forbidden angles for a two-dimensional photonic crystal of connected-honeycomb lattice

The off-plane band structures of a two-dimensional photonic crystals of connected-honeycomb lattice are calculated by the plane-wave expansion method. To investigate how the band gaps vary with the off-plane angle, an effective refractive-index model is employed to work out the corresponding angular gap map. We find that the connected-honeycomb lattice can provide forbidden angles taking up as much as 58.6% of the solid angle. The result will be helpful in the design of photonics devices incorporating two-dimensional photonic crystal structures.
