FDTD analysis of PBG waveguides, power splitters and switches
نویسنده
چکیده
Finite two-dimensional photonic bandgap (PBG) structures were analyzed with a ®nite-difference time-domain (FDTD) full wave, vector Maxwell equation simulator. Removal of particular portions of these PBG structures lead to interesting sub-micron-sized waveguiding environments. Several waveguides and power dividers were designed and evaluated. By introducing further defects into the PBG waveguiding structures, control of the ̄ow of electromagnetic energy in these nanometer-sized waveguides can be aected. This eect is demonstrated, and its use to achieve a micron-sized waveguide switch is shown.

With designing air pads on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer periodically as a cellular structure, a 1×2 photonic band gap (PBG) beam splitter is proposed in this article . We study the characteristics of the designed 1×2 SOI PBG beam splitter and simulate the relationship of the two output power with the launching wavelengths. We use finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) as simulation technique....

Novel plasmonic power splitters constructed from a rectangular ring resonator with direct-connected input and output waveguides are presented and numerically investigated. An analytical model and systematic approach for obtaining the appropriate design parameters are developed by designing an equivalent lumped circuit model for the transmission lines and applying it to plasmonic waveguides.
