“…The technique was "rst demonstrated in 1992 [66] and has since produced several interesting results, such as photonic band-gap behaviour in the visible [24] and the very intriguing photonic crystal "bre. These "bres have a virtually unlimited single-mode bandwidth [67], i.e. they do not (within the useful window determined by absorption losses) allow the propagation of higher order waveguide modes, whatever the wavelength of operation.…”

During the last decade, photonic crystals, also known as photonic microstructures or photonic bandgap structures, have matured from an intellectual curiosity concerning electromagnetic waves to a "eld with real applications in both the microwave and optical regime. In this review, we shall focus on progress and the prospects for semiconductor structures that mainly involve guided modes interacting with periodic structures, but we also evaluate alternative material systems and fabrication methods, e.g. those based on self-organisation. We shall go from basic concepts, via a discussion of the state of the art, to device applications. Naturally, the discussion of the applications will be more speculative, but we attempt to evaluate the real prospects o!ered by photonic crystals at optical frequencies while considering practical limitations. In doing so, we identify a variety of areas such as the combination of quantum dot light emitters with photonic crystals that seem particularly promising. We discuss the prospects for enhanced light}matter interactions in photonic crystals and the related material and design issues. Overall, the aim of this review is to introduce the reader to the concepts of photonic crystals, describe the state of the art and attempt to answer the question of what uses these peculiar structures may have.

“…It has been intensively studied due to their unique properties which could be difficult to realize in conventional optical fibers because of the flexibility for the cross section design (Russell 2007;Birks and Kinght 2001;Knight 2003;Russell 2003;Philip 2009). Taking into consideration the propagation mechanism behind light guidance in PCFs, there are basically two types of PCFs: index-guiding PCFs which is based on modified total internal reflection and photonic bandgap PCFs which is based on the effect (Hansen et al 2001;Saitoh and Koshiba 2002;Knight et al 1998).…”

We proposed a novel design of photonic crystal fiber with the characteristics of high birefringence and zero dispersion. The structure of the photonic crystal fiber is composed of the rectangular lattice with double-cladding and there is an elliptical air hole in the core of the photonic crystal fiber which has the same size with the holes of inner ring. Simulation results show that the elliptical air hole in the core can enhance the performance of mode birefringence and control the properties of chromatic dispersion at the same time. We obtain the high birefringence B = 2.1 9 10 -3 and B = 2.9 9 10 -3 at the wavelength of 1.31 and 1.55 lm respectively and the zero dispersion point at the wavelength of 1.31 lm. The proposed photonic crystal fiber with high birefringence and zero dispersion will be important in the applications of polarization maintaining transmission systems.

“…Cylindrically periodic structures have received a growing attention because of their potential applications to the designs of photonic crystal fibers [9,10], directive antennas or beam-switching antennas [11][12][13][14]. Recently, we have proposed a semi-analytical approach for twodimensional electromagnetic scattering, guidance and radiation by the cylindrical arrays.…”

Abstract-Cylindrical EBG structures excited by a Hertzian dipole source and TM polarized plane wave at oblique incidence are analyzed using a rigorous semi-analytical method based on the cylindrical Floquet mode expansion. Concentric and eccentric cylindrical EBG structures are investigated. Resonance and stopband characteristics in the transmission spectra of the cylindrical EBG structures, enhancement and shading effects in the excited fields, radiation patterns of Hertzian dipole located inside the cylindrical EBG structures in both H-plane and E-plane are numerically studied. Co-polarization and cross-polarizations scattering effects between the electric and magnetic fields are investigated at the oblique incidence of plane waves.
