Low group velocity in a photonic crystal coupled-cavity waveguide

A two-dimensional photonic crystal coupled-cavity waveguide is designed and optimized, the transmission spectrum is calculated by using the finite-difference time-domain method, and the group velocity of c/1856 is obtained. To our knowledge, this value of group velocity is the lowest group velocity in a photonic crystal waveguide calculated from its transmission spectrum so far. The result is confirmed by the photonic band structure calculated by using the plane wave expansion method, and it is found that the photonic crystal waveguide modes in a photonic band structure are in accordance with those in the transmission spectrum by using the finite-difference time-domain method. The mechanism of slow light in the coupled-cavity waveguide of photonic crystal is analysed.     

Slow light transmission in a photonic crystal power splitter with parallel outputs

In this paper, we investigate coupling of light to slow modes in a photonic crystal power splitter composed of a Y-junction and two 60° bends. First, a combination of two cascaded bends which is commonly used in integrated photonic crystal circuits is studied in slow light frequency regime. We propose a structure that its transmission spectrum covers the high group-index frequencies near the band edge. Also, by structural modifications, high transmission near to 95% is achieved in slow light bandwidth. Next, we study the complete structure of a photonic crystal power splitter with parallel outputs based on a Y-junction integrated with two 60° bends. Using modified bends and reducing sharpness of Y-junction, the efficiency of splitting increases in both high and low group-index frequency bands. The optimized structure has an average efficiency of 82% in slow mode regime. This structure can be used in photonic crystal based slow light devices, such as Mach-Zehnder interferometers.     

Study of transmission properties for waveguide bends by use of a circular photonic crystal

We study the transmission properties for the waveguide bends composed by a circular photonic crystal. Two types (Y and U type) of the waveguide bends utilizing the circular photonic crystal are studied. It has been shown, compared with the conventional photonic crystal waveguide bends, transmission properties for these bends can be significantly improved. Over a 6.4% bandwidth, less than 1-dB loss/bend are observed. U bent waveguide, i.e., 180° bend, can be easily realized with low loss using the circular photonic crystal.     

Slow light in photonic crystal with combinations of gradient dielectric constant

A line defect waveguide formed by a new kind of two-dimensional photonic crystal with combinations of gradient varied dielectric was designed and the properties of slow light will been studied by using the Plane Wave expansion Method (PWM). The result shows that the group velocity is slower when the corresponding combination of gradient dielectric constants are with higher dielectric constant and lower interval. In our new structure of photonic crystal, the corresponding group velocity can reach as low as 0.06c (c: light velocity in vacuum), two orders magnitude lower than light velocity. Meanwhile, the group velocity dispersion effect is relatively small.     

高品质因子和高传输效率的二维光子晶体耦合腔波导研究

Extremely large bandwidth and ultralow-dispersion slow light in photonic crystal waveguides with magnetically controllability

A line-defect waveguide within a two-dimensional magnetic-fluid-based photonic crystal with 45^o-rotated square lattice is presented to have excellent slow light properties. The bandwidth centered at $ \lambda_{0} $  = 1,550 nm of our designed W1 waveguide is around 66 nm, which is very large than that of the conventional W1 waveguide as well as the corresponding optimized structures based on photonic crystal with triangular lattice. The obtained group velocity dispersion $ \beta_{2} $ within the bandwidth is ultralow and varies from ?1,191 $ a/(2\pi c^{2} ) $ to 855 $ a/(2\pi c^{2} ) $ (a and c are the period of the lattice and the light speed in vacuum, respectively). Simultaneously, the normalized delay-bandwidth product is relatively large and almost invariant with magnetic field strength. It is indicated that using magnetic fluid as one of the constitutive materials of the photonic crystal structures can enable the magnetically fine tunability of the slow light in online mode. The concept and results of this work may give a guideline for studying and realizing tunable slow light based on the external-stimulus-responsive materials.     

Photonic crystal bends and power splitters based on ring resonators

In this paper, theoretical and numerical analysis of low-loss right angle waveguide bends and T-junctions based on ultra-compact photonic crystal ring resonators (PCRR) is presented. Desirable characteristics are obtained by designing the waveguide bends and T-junctions as low-Q resonant cavities with certain symmetries and small radiation loss. A simple analysis, based on coupled mode theory (CMT) in time, is used to explain the operation principles which agree qualitatively with the numerical results. These structures have high transmission efficiency over a large bandwidth in third communication window. Also effects of changing the ring size on power splitter transmission characteristics are discussed. The perfect transmission and zero reflection conditions are discussed by applying coupled mode theory. Results obtained by the finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations are consistent with those from the coupled mode theory.

An uniform silicon waveguide is proposed featuring ultralow-dispersion slow light. The core of the waveguide consists of one silicon trip and two pairs of air/silicon strip and the cladding is composed of several alternative silicon and air strips, which form a transverse band gap to confine propagating light in the core. The waveguide has several nearly linear photonic bands in a large frequency range, which can support broadband slow modes with a group velocity of 0.03–0.08c and tolerable group velocity dispersion.
