•Case Study: Photonic Crystal Array With Line Defect
A two-dimensional array of photonic crystals with a curved line defect is simulated in Remcom's XFdtd 7.
The crystal geometry is an array of rods, each 0.18125 microns on a side and spaced at a period of 0.58 microns with a curved waveguide line defect introduced by removing several rows of rods as shown. The dielectric properties of gallium arsenide are assigned to the rods.
Two simulations are run with this geometry. The first simulation determines the frequency characteristics using a broadband excitation. The second simulation shows the time domain progression of electric fields through the waveguide at a single frequency.
