Abstract: | Optimal design of a two-dimensional photonic crystal with a square lattice of dielectric rods with intersecting veins in GaAs is investigated numerically using plane wave expansion method. It is shown how a maximum complete two-dimensional bandgap is obtained by optimally connecting the dielectric rods with intersecting veins. The complete two-dimensional photonic bandgap (PBG) of our optimal design reaches Δω = 0.10664(2πc/a) (where a is the lattice constant and c is the speed of light in vacuum) when the radius of dielectric rod is 280.1 nm and the half-vein width is 60 nm. Our result shows 40% the width of PBG higher than that obtained from Ref. M. Qiu, S. He, J. Opt. Soc. Am. B 17 (2000) 1027] (Δω = 0.0762(2πc/a)). In addition, we found that the complete bandgap can be obtained in a large range of radius R of dielectric rod when the half width of intersecting veins d is larger than 65 nm. |
