Island-Kind 2D Photonic Crystal Resonator

Abstract

A binary island-kind photonic crystal resonator is investigated analytically and numerically in the framework of the standing wave expansion method. The photonic bandgap structure for a finite SiO2/SiO2 resonator with rectangular elementary cell of micron sizes is first calculated. The classification concept of resonator's modes is proposed. The field distribution inside the resonator is calculated, and some ways to use the island resonators in optical devices are discussed. K e y w o r d s: photonic bandgap materials, photonic resonators, trapped modes.

Optics of Macroporous Silicon with Through Pores

“…Macroporous silicon is used as a photonic crystal resonator. The field distribution for typical modes in the middle of the resonator and the photon zone of the resonator are calculated using the standing wave decomposition method [7]. Defects in the structure of macroporous silicon, differences in the periodicity of location and radius of macropores affect the spectral characteristics of the photonic crystal [8].…”
