In this paper, we designed and fabricated two-dimensional photonic crystal (2-D PhC) consisting of the silicon ion (Si-ion) implanted silicon dioxide (SiO2) layers. The PhC design parameters based on the telecommunication wavelength (λ=1.55 µm) were obtained using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. By analyzing the samples fabricated using different fabrication approach; we found a suitable fabrication method for 2-D PhCs based on the Si-ion implanted SiO2 layers. We have analyzed the fabricated sample using atomic force microscope (AFM) and annealing temperature and time were optimized in order to recover the damage done by Si-ion implantation. The implantation of Si-ion into SiO2 with the process of 2-D PhCs structure can effectively guide light inside such structure, which can easily be integrated into the existing silicon technology for directing light from one part of the chip to the other.

A two-dimensional (2D) triangular lattice photonic crystal coupled-cavity waveguide is designed and optimized. The transmission spectrum of the PC waveguide with TE polarization is calculated by using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, and the group velocity of c/131.18 at the wavelength is obtained. Through optimizing the parameters of photonic crystal waveguide, different resonance length are obtained by changing the number of the continous air holes. The smallest group velocity is obtained to be c/2209 in the coupled-cavity waveguide with 15 air holes. The mechanism of slow light in the coupled-cavity waveguide of photonic crystal is analyzed.

The effective numerical aperture calculation in two-dimensional Photonic crystal waveguide has been proposed. In this paper we present the analysis of ray optics refracted inside nanorods and at the boundaries between rods, which separates rod gap is much smaller than the incident wavelength assumed to reflect on the region. In operation, the resolving numerical aperture was compared with the finite difference time domain method via OptiFDTD software. Although numerical aperture mentioned above was found to be extremely close to fiber optics, a transmission passes though compartments of the rods are observed due to significant estimation of transmission and reflection of electric field. The compared simulation results will be discussed. By the aforementioned is that in the near future we will modify wave equation in periodic media of waveguide structures reached to the transverse electric equation of beam propagation in the two-dimensional Photonic crystal waveguide analysed.

In this paper, by modifying defects in a photonic crystal lattice, a two-dimensional photonic crystal horn antenna is designed. The photonic crystal used for this purpose is composed of a hexagonal lattice of circular holes in a dielectric slab. The results of this paper allow us to design a photonic crystal antenna capable of separating TE and TM modes. The designed structure has a very simple design that allows low cost fabrication. The structure is numerically simulated using a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Its wide bandwidth, its low loss and the ability to transmit waves at a terahertz frequency range are the antenna’s main advantages. The return loss for the frequency range of 180 to 215 THz is from –6.63 to –28.3 dB. Moreover, a 35 THz bandwidth is obtained for this structure.

In this paper we have proposed a photonic crystal structure to enhance the coupling efficiency between photonic crystal waveguide (PCW) and the conventional dielectric waveguide. The proposed waveguide characterized with employing the taper structure and varying the holes’ radius in the taper. Two-dimensional (2D) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method has been used to analyze the structure. The simulation results show that the coupling efficiency can be achieved as high as 81.6% at the wavelength of 1.55um.

A novel design of photonic crystal waveguide crossing with taper structure is proposed. Simulations are performed by finite-difference time-domain method. The results show the proposed design has both high transmission and low cross talk characteristics. The transmission band and low cross talk band can be tuned to match each other by adjusting the taper structure..

A detailed numerical study of low-loss silicon on insulator (SOI) waveguide bend is presented using the fully three-dimensional (3D) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The geometrical parameters are optimized to minimize the bending loss over a range of frequencies. Transmission results for the conventional single bend and photonic crystal assisted SOI waveguide bend are compared. Calculations are performed for the transmission values of TE-like modes where the electric field is strongly transverse to the direction of propagation. The best obtained transmission is over 95% for TE-like modes.

We report optical second harmonic generation (OSHG) in a two dimension photonic crystal of centro-symmetric dielectric based on finite difference time domain (FDTD) algorithm. The electromagnetic field distribution in the structure and the intensity of second harmonic (SH) from electric quadrupole polarization along the waveguide are analyzed. The results show that the acute spatial variation of electromagnetic field results in the radiation of SH, and the intensity is proportional to the square of waveguide length. When the beam intensity of the pumping wave is 1.3 MW/mm2, which has wavelength of 10.6 μm, the conversion efficiency of power is 0.307% for a photonic crystal of Silicon with a length of 40 μm.
