Magnetic field induced bandgap in two dimensional magneto-optical photonic crystals
نویسندگان
چکیده
The photonic bandgap of magneto-optical (MO) photonic crystals (PhCs) induced by an external dc magnetic field is theoretically investigated with the plane-wave expansion method. The effect of PhC lattice shape, MO filling fraction and dc magnetic intensity on such type of bandgap has been studied. It is found that PhC with triangular lattice is superior to PhC with square lattice in term of bandgap width; thus, the one-way waveguide composed by the former PhC has a broader operation band. Moreover, there exists a certain value of external magnetic field at which the bandgap reaches a maximum. These results are found to be in agreement by finite element analysis of transmission property of one-way waveguides.

متن کاملTwo Classes of Unconventional Photonic Crystals
This thesis concerns two classes of photonic crystal that differ from the usual solid-state dielectric photonic crystals studied in optical physics. The first class of unconventional photonic crystal consists of atoms bound in an optical lattice. This is a “resonant photonic crystal”, in which an underlying optical resonance modifies the usual band physics. I present a three-dimensional quantum...
متن کاملMagneto-optical defects in two-dimensional photonic crystals
We analyze the properties of magneto-optical defect states in two-dimensional photonic crystals. With outof-plane magnetization, the magneto-optical coupling splits doubly-degenerate TE states into two counter-rotating modes at different frequencies. The strength of magneto-optical coupling strongly depends on the spatial overlap of the cavity domain structures and the cross product of the moda...

In the present paper a novel structure for optical channel drop filter (CDF) based on photonic crystal ring resonator with circular core has been proposed. In order to design the proposed CDF, the plan wave expansion (PWE) method is applied for calculation of band structure and photonic band gap while the transmission characteristics of proposed CDF have been calculated using the finite differe...
