Polarization-independent self-collimating bends and beam splitters in photonic crystals

Polarization independent bends and beam splitters for transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) polarizations have been demonstrated in two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystals (PhCs). In virtuel of equi-frequency contour analysis and finite-difference time-domain calculations, self-collimation behaviors for TE- and TM-polarizations are achieved at the same frequency. Simulation results show a 90-degree bend with 90% efficiency and beam splitters with about 96% total efficiency for both TE- and TMpolarizations, where the light is self-guided by the self-collimation effect. Such bends and beam splitters are expected to play important roles in optical devices where polarization insensitivity is needed.     

Optical limitation in two-dimensional nonlinear photonic crystal with triangular lattice

Optical limitation in a 2D nonlinear photonic crystal (NPC) has been studied in this Letter. Since the optical limitation is due to Bragg scattering induced by the variation of nonlinear refractive index, it is sure that the optical limitation can be realized in nonlinear photonic crystal. The light propagation characteristics in a two-dimensional nonlinear photonic crystal with triangular lattice has been calculated by using the finite-difference time-domain algorithm, which is constructed by placing certain number of nonlinear dielectric rods in a linear photonic crystal. The optical limiting effects at 1.300 and 0.504 μm have been obviously obtained for TE polarization and TM polarization, respectively.     

Ultra-broadband polarization splitter based on graphene layer-filled dual-core photonic crystal fiber

An ultra-broadband polarization splitter based on graphene layer-filled dual-core photonic crystal fiber(GDC-PCF)that can work in a wavelength range from 1120 nm to 1730 nm is proposed in this paper. Through optimizing fiber configuration, the polarization splitter has an extinction ratio of-56.3 dB at 1.55 μm with a fiber length of 4.8 mm.Compared with the photonic crystal fiber reported splitters, to our knowledge, the GDC-PCF splitter with the extinction ratio below-20 dB has a super wide bandwidth of 610 nm. Due to the excellent splitting characteristics, the GDC-PCF will be used in coherent optical communication systems in a wavelength range from infrared to mid-infraed.     

Tunable photonic crystal circuits: concepts and designs based on single-pore infiltration

We demonstrate that the infiltration of individual pores of certain two-dimensional photonic crystals with liquid crystals and (or) polymers provides an efficient platform for the realization of integrated photonic crystal circuitry. As an illustration of this principle, we present designs for monomode photonic crystal wave-guides and certain functional elements, such as waveguide bends, beam splitters, and waveguide intersections. These devices exhibit very low reflection over broad frequency ranges. In addition, we discuss the inherent tunability of these devices that originates in the tunability of the infiltrated material.     

Proposal for ideal 3-dB splitters-combiners in photonic crystals

We propose a structure for ideal 3-dB splitters (1 x 2)-combiners (2 x 1) in photonic crystals. In photonic crystals, ideal 3-dB splitters based on a three-port system are achievable in principle, but it is impossible to achieve ideal 3-dB combiners based on the three-port system because there is no path for a loss, owing to strong confinement of photons. The proposed structure is based on a four-port system in which the concept of a microwave circuit, the so-called rat-race circuit is adopted. Design conditions for two-dimensional photonic-crystal-based rat-race circuits have been investigated by use of the coupled-mode theory in time. With the proposed structure, a 3-dB splitter-combiner has been designed. The performance of the device was numerically calculated by the finite-difference time-domain method.
