“…Basically, PC structure is designed with point defects and line defect to get the photonic band gap (PBG) and these structures could be in the form of 1-Dimensional, 2-Dimensional and 3-Dimensional where, 2-Dimensional PC is highly attractive due to the small size, high operating speed, low loss [2]. Based on 2D PC various devices has been designed such as optical waveguides [4,5], optical sensors [6][7][8], optical filters [9,10], multiplexer/demultiplexer [11][12][13], logic gates [14][15], optical switches [16][17], etc. The optical encoders can be designed with three different techniques as self-collimation [18], nonlinear effect [19][20] and interference effect [21][22][23][24].…”
