Abstract: | Transition process of optical modal properties induced by the introduction of randomness into random photonic crystals is
investigated by a computational method. We analyze an impulse response of two-dimensional triangular photonic crystals, in
which the positions of the air holes are slightly deviated to random directions. It is shown that the appropriate degree of
random departure from a perfect crystal state gives rise to multiple scattering of low group velocity band-edge modes and
supports their strong Anderson localization. The achieved confinement efficiency of light exceeds the one obtained in the
perfect photonic crystal state. |
