AbstractWe report on the optical properties of two dimensional (2D) photonic crystals (PCs) deeply etched in an InP/GaInAsP step-index waveguide. Transmission (T) measurements through simple PC slabs and through one-dimensional (1D) Fabry-Pérot (FP) cavities between PC mirrors are reported and compared to theory. A 2D finite difference time-domain (FDTD) method combined to a phenomenological out-of-plane loss model is used to assess different loss contributions. The PC optical properties are deduced from the FP peak analysis. The origin of the high T level observed inside the stopgap is investigated.

Photonic crystals (PCs) have many applications in order to control light-wave propagation. A novel type of two-dimensional anisotropic PC is investigated band gap and optical properties as a hollow semiconductor nanorod with nematicliquid crystals (LC). The PC structure composed of an anisotropic nematicLC in semiconductor square hollow nanorod is designed using the plane wave expansion (PWE) method and finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. It has been used 5CB (4-pentyl-4`-cyanobiphenyl) as LC core, and Tellurium (Te) as square hollow nanorod material.The PC with hollow Tenanorod with nematicLC is compared with the PC with solid Tenanorodand the PC with hollow Tenanorod.

The leapfrog schemes have been developed for unconditionally stable alternating-direction implicit (ADI) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, and recently the complying-divergence implicit (CDI) FDTD method. In this paper, the formulations from time-collocated to leapfrog fundamental schemes are presented for ADI and CDI FDTD methods. For the ADI FDTD method, the time-collocated fundamental schemes are implemented using implicit E-E and E-H update procedures, which comprise simple and concise right-hand sides (RHS) in their update equations. From the fundamental implicit E-H scheme, the leapfrog ADI FDTD method is formulated in conventional form, whose RHS are simplified into the leapfrog fundamental scheme with reduced operations and improved efficiency. For the CDI FDTD method, the time-collocated fundamental scheme is presented based on locally one-dimensional (LOD) FDTD method with complying divergence. The formulations from time-collocated to leapfrog schemes are provided, which result in the leapfrog fundamental scheme for CDI FDTD method. Based on their fundamental forms, further insights are given into the relations of leapfrog fundamental schemes for ADI and CDI FDTD methods. The time-collocated fundamental schemes require considerably fewer operations than all conventional ADI, LOD and leapfrog ADI FDTD methods, while the leapfrog fundamental schemes for ADI and CDI FDTD methods constitute the most efficient implicit FDTD schemes to date.

To expand the bandgap's width of the one-dimensional photonic crystal, a crystal named SiO2/Metal/MgF2 is formed by joining some metals into the crystal SiO2/MgF2. Furthermore the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method is used to explore the metals' influence on the crystal's transmission characteristics. The simulation results show that the metals joined could expand the width of the one-dimensional photonic crystal's bandgap effectively and the bandgap's width increases when the metals' thickness increases. Meanwhile the bandgap's characteristic is affected by the metals' material-characteristic. The higher the plasma frequency is, the wider the bandgap's width will be and the more the number of the bandgaps will be. On the other hand, the metals' damping frequency has no significant effect on the bandgap, but would make the bandgap-edge's transmittance decrease slightly.

Compared with the traditional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, the symplectic finite-difference time-domain (SFDTD) method has the characteristics of high precision and low dispersion. However, because the higher-order difference is necessary for the calculation, a large sparse matrix is generated. It causes that the computational time is relatively long and the memory is more. To solve this problem, the incomplete Cholesky conjugate gradient (ICCG) method for solving the large sparse matrix needs to be taken into the SFDTD differential equations. The ICCG method can accelerate the iterations of the numerical calculation and reduce the memory with fast and stable convergence speed. The new ICCG–SFDTD method, which has both the advantages of the ICCG method and SFDTD method, is proposed. In this paper, the ICCG–SFDTD method is used for research on the characteristic parameters of the plasma photonic crystals (PPCs) under different conditions, such as the reflection electric field and the transmission coefficient, to verify the feasibility and accuracy of this method. The results prove that the ICCG–SFDTD method is accurate and has some advantages.
