Slow-Light in photonic crystals waveguides
We modeled two realistic slow light structures, which are viable to be fabricated on silicon: Silicon strip waveguide photonic crystal with periodic SiO2 holes and silicon corrugated waveguide. In order to modeling these devices we carried out simulations using the Plane Wave Expansion (PWE) method...

| Sumario: | We modeled two realistic slow light structures, which are viable to be fabricated on silicon: Silicon strip waveguide photonic crystal with periodic SiO2 holes and silicon corrugated waveguide. In order to modeling these devices we carried out simulations using the Plane Wave Expansion (PWE) method and the Finite Differences in Time Domain (FDTD) method. We employed the MIT Photonic Bands (MPB) free software developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the FDTD Solutions software developed by Lumerical Solutions Inc. Also, we analyzed the scattering originated by technological imperfections in the waveguides, known as extrinsic losses. In this analysis we used a theoretical model developed by T. Krauss group for described the losses effect in the photonic crystal waveguides. For this goal, a MPB code developed by the Krauss group was used. |
