摘要:
A three-dimensional wood-pile like photonic crystal operating at a plurality of design wavelengths, in which the photonic band gap can be adjusted to a desired wavelength band without changing the lattice period, and an optical element that can contain a defect resonator or a defect waveguide in the three-dimensional photonic crystal are provided.
摘要:
A waveguide is composed of a three-dimensional photonic crystal including a first linear defect and a second linear defect. The first linear defect is disposed at part of columnar structures and is formed of a medium different from the columnar structures. The second linear defect is disposed at part of columnar structures extending in the longitudinal direction of the first linear defect and is formed of a medium having a refractive index different from that of the medium used for the columnar structures. The second linear defect is separated from the first linear defect by a distance of at least 0.5 times the out-of-plane lattice period of the three-dimensional photonic crystal in a direction in which layers including the columnar structures are stacked.
摘要:
In a waveguide including a plurality of linear defects of a three-dimensional photonic crystal, the plurality of linear defects include a first defect formed by changing the medium of some of columnar structures to a medium different from that of the columnar structures and a second linear defect formed by shifting the position or changing the shape of some of the columnar structures extending in the same direction as the first linear defect, and the first linear defect and the second linear defect are disposed apart by 0.5 times the out-of-plane lattice period or more in the stacking direction of the three-dimensional photonic crystal.
摘要:
A three-dimensional photonic crystal has periodic-refractive-index structures including a first layer (110) having a periodic structure based on a first rectangular lattice having a period of A along a first axis and a period of B along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis in the plane direction, a second layer (120) having a periodic structure disposed at a position shifted by +3B/8 along the second axis with respect to the position of the first rectangular lattice, a third layer (130) having a periodic structure disposed at a position shifted by A/2 along the first axis and B/2 along the second axis with respect to the position of the periodic structure in the first layer, and a fourth layer (140) having a periodic structure disposed at the same position as the periodic structure in the second layer.
