چکیده
We investigate the use of a Genetic Algorithm (GA) to design a set of photonic crystals (PCs) in one and two dimensions. Our flexible design methodology allows us to optimize PC structures for specific objectives. In this paper, we report the results of several such GA-based PC optimizations. We show that the GA performs well even in very complex design spaces, and therefore has great potential as a robust design tool in a range of PC applications.

متن کاملPerformance Enhancement of Bandgap Printed Antennas Using Finite Element Method and Size/Topology Optimization Methods
Photonic bandgap (PBG) antennas consist of printed elements on perforated (usually periodic) substrates and have shown improved performance over uniform substrates. More specifically, PBGs can increase gain and bandwidth and reduce loss. However, design approaches for these antennas have yet to be developed and furthermore there is great interest for a better understanding of bandgap structures...
متن کاملThermal tuning of silicon-based one-dimensional photonic bandgap structures
Thermal tuning of silicon-based one-dimensional photonic bandgap microcavities is demonstrated. Thermally induced spectral shifts are caused by both the host silicon matrix and the optically active material infiltrated inside the photonic bandgap structures. The active material leads to the dominant thermal tuning contribution but the effect of the silicon matrix cannot be neglected. The intera...

متن کاملDesign of a Photonic Bandgap Fiber with Optimized Parameters to Achieve Ultra-Low Confinement Loss
In this paper, a novel design of all-solid photonic bandgap fiber with ultra-low confinement loss is proposed. The confinement loss is reduced remarkably by managing the number of rods rings, up-doping level, pitch value, and rods diameters. Moreover, the designed PCF shows ultra-flattened dispersion in L- and U-band. Furthermore, a new design, based on introducing of an extra ring of air h...
