Anisotropy of light extraction from GaN two-dimensional photonic crystals.

چکیده
Angular distribution of light diffracted out of the plane of two-dimensional photonic crystals (PhC) has been studied in the azimuthal direction with a specially designed waveguide structure. The optical images of the light extraction patterns from the guided photoluminescence light are obtained with laser excitation in the center of the annual structure made on GaN multilayer. For increasing lattice constant, symmetric patterns with varying number of petals according to the symmetry of the PhC are observed. The appearance and disappearance of the petals can be explained using the Ewald construction in the reciprocal space. The dependence of light extraction on the lattice constant and orientation, and incident angle are investigated.

Design and Analysis of a Novel Hexagonal Shaped Channel Drop Filter Based on Two-Dimensional Photonic Crystals
In this paper a new optical channel drop filter (CDF) based on two dimensional (2-D) photonic crystals (PhC) with hexagonal shaped structure is proposed and numerically demonstrated by using the finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) and plane-wave-expansion (PWE) techniques. Photonic crystals (PhCs) are artificial dielectric nanostructure materials in which a periodic modulation of the material ...

We report the simulation results for impact of nonlinear Kerr effect on band structures of a two dimensional photonic crystal (2D-PhC) with no defect, a PhC based W1-waveguide (W1W), and also Coupled-Cavity Waveguides (CCWs). All PhC structres are assumed to a square lattice of constant a made of GaAs rods of radius r=0.2a, in an air background. The numerical simulation was performed using...

متن کاملSuperprism phenomenon in three-dimensional macroporous polymer photonic crystals
The superprism phenomenon is the extremely large angular dispersion experienced by a light beam when entering a photonic crystal. This arises from the anisotropy of the photonic band structure. Strong anisotropy can be present even in systems without a complete photonic band gap. Here, we describe a theoretical investigation of the superprism effect in three-dimensional macroporous polymer phot...
