چکیده

The focus of this study is to improve the light extraction efficiency and directionality of the OLED using a photonic crystal. First, the single period dielectric structure was optimized for red, green and blue wavelengths. The results showed an increase in directionality to an angle of approximately ± 15 degrees. This is promising since the angle needed for comfortable viewing is considered to be ± 20 degrees. Then the superperiod structure was designed and simulated for red and blue wavelengths. There was a further increase in directionality to ± 20 degrees. The transmission spectrum for both wavelengths was also affected at multiple regions, as proposed in the superperiod design. Further work entails more superperiod simulations with changes to parameter values, including consideration of four possible dipole positions.

Influence of optical Kerr coefficient on photonic band structures of hexagonal-lattice function photonic crystals

In this paper, we have studied the photonic band structure of function photonic crystals in which the dielectric constant of the scattering centers (rods) is a function of space coordinates. The under-studied lattice is hexagonal and cross section of rods has a circular symmetry embedded in the air background. Photonic band structures for both electric and magnetic polarizations of the electrom...
