Abstract: | The out-of-plane propagation characteristics of an infinitely extended 12-fold photonic quasi-crystal structure is modeled using the FDTD technique. The quasi-crystal pattern is designed using the dual beam multiple exposure holographic lithography system previously reported. Simulations indicate that two types of mode families are possible; “bandgap guided” and; “index guided”. Results are presented showing mode profiles; effective index versus propagation constant and wavelength plots; and modal attenuation due to power leakage. Potential applications include a new novel micro-structured optical fiber. |
