Creation of tunable absolute bandgaps in a two-dimensional anisotropic photonic crystal modulated by a nematic liquid crystal

Photonic crystals (PCs) have many potential applications because of their ability to control light-wave propagation. We have investigated the tunable absolute bandgap in a two-dimensional anisotropic photonic crystal structures modulated by a nematic liquid crystal. The PC structure composed of an anisotropic-dielectric cylinder in the liquid crystal medium is studied by solving Maxwell's equations using the plane wave expansion method. The photonic band structures are found to exhibit absolute bandgaps for the square and triangular lattices. Numerical simulations show that the absolute bandgaps can be continuously tuned in the square and triangular lattices consisting of anisotropic-dielectric cylinders by infiltrating nematic liquid crystals. Such a mechanism of bandgap adjustment should open up a new application for designing components in photonic integrated circuits.

Time-domain investigation of the tunneling modes in photonic heterostructure containing single-negative materials

We present a theoretical investigation into the energy transport and transient wave propagation in metamaterial tunneling structures consisting of ??-negative (ENG) and ??-negative (MNG) materials. It is proved that a conjugated matched ENG/MNG bilayer and a (zero-index-material doped) photonic crystal heterostructure can work as a sub-wavelength resonator at tunneling frequency. The tunneling modes need a certain time to achieve the steady state and the charge up characteristic time increases (nearly) exponentially with the thickness of the structures. Under the steady state, the wave in the single-negative-material structures is not evanescent, but a hybrid of a traveling wave and a reactive standing wave. The phase difference between the electric field and the magnetic field varies with the position and time. The investigation of transient wave propagation in the metamaterial tunneling structures will help us to understand the interaction process between wave and metamaterial and to design special functional apparatus.     

Silica-air photonic crystal fiber design that permits waveguiding by a true photonic bandgap effect

A theoretical investigation of a novel type of optical fiber is presented. The operation of the fiber relies entirely on wave guidance through the photonic bandgap effect and not on total internal reflection, thereby distinguishing that fiber from all other known fibers, including recently studied photonic crystal fibers. The novel fiber has a central low-index core region and a cladding consisting of a silica background material with air holes situated within a honeycomb lattice structure. We show the existence of photonic bandgaps for the silica-air cladding structure and demonstrate how light can be guided at the central low-index core region for a well-defined frequency that falls inside the photonic bandgap region of the cladding structure.

Analysis of tunable bandgaps in liquid crystal-infiltrated 2D silicon photonic crystals

We present a theoretical study on two-dimensional photonic crystals composed of silicon and the E7 liquid crystal. We analyze how the optical axis orientation of the liquid crystal influences the photonic bands and bandgaps, for the case when the Maxwell equations can be decoupled into the TE and TM modes. We consider two different structures, a triangular lattice of E7 liquid crystal cylinders in a silicon background and a triangular lattice of silicon cylinders in an E7 liquid crystal background. The effect of the liquid crystal anisotropy on the geometry of the irreducible Brillouin zone allows us to propose a simplified way to calculate the photonic bandgaps. Results show that the bandgap width and center frequency have a 60° periodicity for both structures. Using the plane-wave expansion method, we determined the maximum bandgap and the optimal radius of the cylinders for each structure. Finally, for the second structure, we propose an optical switch with a 50% duty cycle. These structures can be applied to design tunable photonic devices.

Wide angularly isotropic photonic bandgaps obtained from two-dimensional photonic crystals with Archimedean-like tilings

We present a theoretical study of new two-dimensional photonic crystals based on Archimedean-like tilings. Three structures are considered: a square lattice with a 4-atom unit cell and triangular lattices with 7- and 13-atom unit cells. A 12-fold local rotational symmetry is obtained for the triangular lattices and is approached for the square lattice. Wide photonic bandgaps can then be achieved, with very weak bandwidth dependence (~1%) on the wave-propagation direction. The complete bandgap frequency is shown to depend on the atomic bond length and not on the crystal period. This new class of periodic photonic crystals is a simple and attractive alternative to photonic quasi crystals.
