摘要： An object of the present invention is to provide a two-dimensional photonic crystal in which conditions for both the TE-polarized light and the TM-polarized light can be easily satisfied. A body includes a first area having a triangular lattice pattern arrangement of a circular hole and a second area having a triangular lattice pattern arrangement of an equilateral triangular holes. Therefore, the TE-PBG which is a photonic band gap (PBG) for the TE-polarized light is created in the first area, and the TM-PBG which is a PBG for the TM-polarized light is created in the second area. Parameters such as the period and size of the holes can be independently set for the first area and the second area, so that an energy region common to the TE-PBG and the TM-PBG (i.e. absolute PBG) can be made larger and easily created. Forming a waveguide and resonators and or the like corresponding to an energy within the absolute PBG allows formation of a polarized light multiplexer/demultiplexer and a frequency (wavelength) multiplexer/demultiplexer without depending on polarized light or the like.

摘要： A two-dimensional photonic crystal surface emitting laser light source according to the present invention includes a two-dimensional photonic crystal made of a plate-shaped body material provided with a periodic arrangement of identically-shaped holes 242A and an active layer provided on one side of the two-dimensional photonic crystal. The hole 242A is not located on a first half-line 251 extending from the gravity center G1 of the hole in a direction within the plane of the two-dimensional photonic crystal, while the hole 242A is located at least on a portion of a second half-line 252 extending from the gravity center G1 in the direction opposite to the first half-line 251. Injecting electric charges into the active layer generates light, which creates an electric field that encircles the gravity center G1 within the two-dimensional photonic crystal. For a given point on the second half-line 252 at which the hole 242A is located, there is no hole at a point that is symmetrical to the aforementioned point with respect to the gravity center G1, so that there is a difference in the refractive index between the two points. Thus, the electric field vectors at the two points are prevented from canceling each other due to destructive interference, so that the resultant laser light is stronger than conventional examples.

摘要： The present invention is aimed at providing a two-dimensional photonic crystal wavelength multiplexer/demultiplexer capable of multiplexing and demultiplexing both TE and TM-polarized lights. In the wavelength multiplexer/demultiplexer, first and second resonators and having the same resonance wavelength λr are provided between first and second waveguides and which are separately provided in a two-dimensional photonic crystal having a photonic band gap for the TE polarization. A first polarization converter for converting a TM-polarized light to a TE-polarized light is provided on the first waveguide 121 between the first and second resonators and. Similarly, a second polarization converter for converting a TE-polarized light to a TM-polarized light is provided on the second waveguide between the first and second resonators and. Among the light propagating through the first waveguide, the TE-polarized light with wavelength λr is introduced from the first resonator into the second waveguide, whereas the TM-polarized light is converted to a TE-polarized light by the first polarization converter and then introduced through the second resonator into the second waveguide.

摘要： An objective of the present invention is to provide a laser capable of producing a radially polarized laser beam with an annular cross section. A laser oscillator 60 including an active layer 53 and two-dimensional photonic crystal 55 with circular holes 552 arranged in a square lattice pattern is provided between two electrodes 571 and 572. A first polarization control layer 581, which functions as a half-wave plate, and a second polarization control layer 582, which functions as a half-wave plate with a fast axis 592 extending at an angle of 45° to that of the first polarization control layer 581, are located on the laser oscillator 60. When a voltage is applied between the electrodes, a circumferentially polarized annular laser beam is emitted from the laser oscillator 60. When passing through the first polarization control layer 581 and the second polarization control layer 582, the laser beam is converted to a radially polarized beam. The resultant laser beam can be converged by a focusing lens to achieve a diameter smaller than the diffraction limit. Such a narrow beam is suitable for an optical pickup or many other devices.

摘要： The present invention intends to provide a surface-emitting laser light source using a two-dimensional photonic crystal in which the efficiency of extracting light in a direction perpendicular to the surface is high. In a laser light source provided with a two-dimensional photonic crystal layer created from a plate-shaped matrix body in which a large number of holes are periodically arranged and an active layer arranged on one side of the two-dimensional photonic crystal layer, the holes are created to be columnar with a predetermined cross-sectional shape such as a circular shape, and the main axis of each of the columnar holes is tilted to a surface of the matrix body. When provided with this two-dimensional photonic crystal layer, the surface-emitting laser source using a two-dimensional photonic crystal has a Q⊥ value (i.e. a Q value in a direction perpendicular to the surface) of several thousands, which is suitable for an oscillation of laser light, and the efficiency of extracting light is high in the direction perpendicular to the surface.

摘要： An objective of the present invention is to provide a two-dimensional photonic crystal in which a complete photonic band gap (PBG), i.e. a photonic band gap that is effective for both a TE-polarized light and a TM-polarized light within a predetermined wavelength range, is created and an adequate width of the complete PBG can be ensured. A slab-shaped body 21 consisting of a birefringent material is provided with holes 22 periodically arranged in a triangular lattice pattern, where a plane shape of the hole is an equilateral triangle. The PBG for the TE-polarized light and the PBG for the TM-polarized light can be independently set by adjusting anisotropy in the refractive index of the body 21, i.e. a refractive index in a direction vertical to the body 21 and a refractive index in a direction parallel to the body 21. This construction makes it possible to ensure an adequate width of the complete PBG.
