In this article, we suggested a novel design of polarization splitter based on coupler waveguide on InP substrate at 1.55mm wavelength. Photonic crystal structure is consisted of two dimensional (2D) air holes embedded in InP/InGaAsP material with an effective refractive index of 3.2634 which is arranged in a hexagonal lattice. The photonic band gap (PBG) of this structure is determined using t...

On the basis of Maxwell's equations and a plane wave expansion method, photonic band structure is computed for 3D chalcogenide photonic crystal with diamond lattice. The geometrical influence on the photonic bandgap is studied for three dimensional chalcogenide photonic crystal of diamond lattice for both chalcogenide spheres in air and air spheres in chalcogenide background. The air spheres in...

We discuss a novel type of surface soliton-aberrated surface soliton-appearance in a nonlinear one dimensional photonic crystal and a possibility of this surface soliton formation in two dimensional photonic crystal. An aberrated surface soliton possesses a nonlinear distribution of the wavefront. We show that, in one dimensional photonic crystal, the surface soliton is formed at the photonic c...

in this paper, we proposed a novel structure for designing all optical filter based on photonic crystal structure. in designing the proposed filter, we simply employed a point defect localized between input and output waveguides as wavelength selecting part of the filter. the initial form of this filter is capable of selecting optical waves at =1560 nm, the transmission efficiency of the filte...

The guided modes lying in the upper gap-edge band in the photonic band structure of photonic crystals have negative values of refractive index. This feature generates many interesting optical phenomena, and some spectacular photonic devices such as focusing slabs have been developed. We report the design of a photonic-crystal, planoconcave lens for focusing incident parallel light, and theoreti...

In this paper, a photonic crystal waveguide with point defects and lattice constant perturbations of +5%, -5% are being investigated. Firstly waveguide structures with constant and specific parameters are being studied and photonic band gap diagrams for TE/TM modes are depicted; then pulse propagation in the frequencies available in the band gap are shown. After that, effects of parameters like...

First, we will discuss the limitations and difficulties of MPλS, and we will address that the photonic packet switching will be an ultimate solution to solve the problems of MPλS. Next, we will focus on the OC-based photonic packet switching. The advantages of OC-based photonic packet switching include ultrafast photonic label processing capability, optical buffering using WDM fiber delay lines...

This paper presents a theoretical optical data pathway model. The goal is to evaluate the physics behind photonic crystal/photon relationships and to develop a theoretical model for photonic crystal implementation into VLSI system design. This paper will begin with the exploration of the fundamentals of wave propagation in photonic crystals, development of an optical transmitting device (laser ...

We introduce graded photonic quasicrystals (GPQs) and investigate properties of such structures on the example of Luneburg lens based on a dodecagonal photonic quasicrystal. It is shown that the graded photonic quasicrystal lens has better focusing properties as compared with the graded photonic crystal lens in a frequency range suitable for experimental realization. The proposed graded photoni...
