Guided Modes of Positive and Negative Group Index in the Honeycomb Photonic Crystal Waveguides

Abstract:

A guided mode of positive and negative group index structure is essential to quantum optics for design and development of high efficiency optical devices which are useful to security optical communication system and to diverse applications such as Optical Time-Division-Multiplexing, Optical Switch, Laser, LED, Entangled Photon Source and Single Photon Source. Thus, we proposed to develop an efficient photon emission along line defect of two-dimensional honeycomb photonic crystal waveguide in the silicon slab. The honeycomb lattice of circular air holes on a silicon plate is simulated to obtain two nearest guided modes between positive and negative group index regimes. This significant property shows the potential applied guided modes of photonic crystal waveguide enhancing spontaneous emission for controlling photon emission between two resonance frequencies. Significantly, this work is oriented to produce the novel optical devices for control photon emission in the optical communication system. In addition to the honeycomb lattice, it can easily be made on a Si on insulator (SOI) wafer.
