Photonic bands, gap maps, and intrinsic losses in three-component 2D photonic crystal slabs

We obtain the photonic bands and intrinsic losses for the triangular lattice three-component two- dimensional （2D） photonic crystal （PhC） slabs by expanding the electromagnetic field on the basis of waveguide modes of an effective homogeneous waveguide. The introduction of the third component into the 2D PhC slabs influences the photonic band structure and the intrinsic losses of the system. We examine the dependences of the band gap width and gap edge position on the interlayer dielectric constant and interlayer thickness. It is found that the gap edges shift to lower frequencies and the intrinsic losses of each band decrease with the increasing interlayer thickness or dielectric constant. During the design of the real PhC system, the effect of unintentional native oxide surface layer on the optical properties of 2D PhC slabs has to be taken into consideration. At the same time, intentional oxidization of macroporous PhC structure can be utilized to optimize the design.     

二维正方晶格各向异性光子晶体缺陷模

为了得到对TM和TE模具有相同缺陷模的共振微腔,通过在完整各向异性碲介质柱二维正方光子晶体中,引入各向同性的介质圆柱作为点缺陷,利用超胞平面波展开法计算该光子晶体的缺陷模,系统计算了在同时改变点缺陷介质柱介电常数和半径两种情况下的两种偏振缺陷模的变化规律。结果表明,在完全禁带中,缺陷介质柱介电常数从5.44变化到38.44、半径与晶格常数的比从0.05变化到0.50的整个区域,均会出现对TM和TE模具有相同缺陷模,且随着介电常数的减小,缺陷模随着缺陷半径的变化趋于缓慢,归一化共振频率在0.241 8~0.243 2之间可调,在引入ε_e＜ε_o的各向异性介质柱缺陷时,亦可得到对TM和TE模具有相同缺陷模,且共振频率的可调范围增大,该研究为光子晶体器件的设计提供了理论依据。
