Photonic bandgap structures

Note that in future application of photonic bandgap structures may result in very small sensor (-array)s.

FIGURE 4.2. Illustration of a two-dimensional photonic bandgap structure in which the white regions possess a high refractive index and the black regions represent air holes. Such structures can have a complete photonic bandgap under appropriate conditions. When a defect is introduced in the perfectly periodic lattice, a microcavity can be created.

We first investigate the steady optical responses, i.e. the photonic bandgap structures and the reflection and transmission spectra, of our considered media to a cw probe field with the two-mode approximation method and the transfer-matrix method. Starting from the dressed susceptibility in the weak probe limit, we find that a photonic bandgap of 0.5 MHz in width can be...

The procedure of transfer matrix calculation of dielectric mirrors is described in detail in, e.g., [243]. An approach similar to the above is used for 2D and 3D structures, but the obtained expressions are much more involved and must be solved numerically. In [244] a detailed approach is described and the diagrams of photonic bandgap structures for 2D and 3D photonic crystals are given. An alternative method is presented in [241],...
