Abstract:The impedance of a medium carrying electromagnetic waves had been one of the important metrics for designing devices. However, the conclusions of wave impedance in periodic media like photonic crystal (PhC) waveguides fail to describe different wave propagation phenomena. Instead, Bloch impedance fits more appropriately in such a case. However, the existing definition of Bloch impedance by Boscolo et al. [J. Lightwave Technol. 20, 304 (2002)JLTEDG0733-872410.1109/50.983245] is also unable to encounter some typ… Show more
