1.3 WORKING OF PHOTONIC BAND GAP:
n a photonic crystal light entering the perforated material will reflect and refract off
interfaces between glass and air. *he comple4 pattern of overlapping beams will lead to
cancellation of a band of wavelengths in all directions leading to prevention of propagation of
this band into the crystal. *he resulting photonic band structure can be modified by filling in
some holes or creating defects in the otherwise perfectly periodic system.

TYPES AND FABRICATION OF PHOTONIC CRYSTAL
PCs are classified mainly into three categories according to its nature of structure periodicity,that is, +ne imensional "(#, *wo imensional "2#, and *hree imensional "3# PCs.
2.1 ONE DIMENSIONAL PC:
n (PCs, the periodic modulation of the refractive inde4 occurs in one direction only while
the refractive inde4 variations are uniform for other two directions of the structure. *he P!G
appears in the direction of periodicity for any value of refractive inde4 contrast i.e. difference
between the dielectric constant of the materials. n other words, there is no threshold for
dielectric contrast for the appearance of a P!G. 7or smaller values of inde4 contrast, the
width of the P!G appears very small and vice versa. @owever, the P!Gs open up as soon as
the refractive inde4 contrast is greater than one "n(/n2 (#, where n( and n2 are the
refractive inde4 of the dielectric materials. A defect can be introduced in a (PCs, by ma$ing
one of the layers to have a slightly different refractive inde4 or width than the rest.

2.2 TWO DIMENSIONAL PC:
PC structure"s# that are periodic in two different directions and homogeneous in third
direction are called 2PC which is shown in 7igure (."b# and 2"b#. n most of the 2PCs, the
P!G occurs when the lattice has sufficiently larger inde4 contrast. f the refractive inde4contrast between the cylinders "rods# and the bac$ground "air# is sufficiently large, 2 P!G
can occur for propagation in the plane of periodicity perpendicular to the rod a4is.
Generally, 2PCs consist of dielectric rods in air host "high dielectric pillars embedded in a
low dielectric medium# or air holes in a dielectric region "low dielectric rods in a connected
higher dielectric lattice# as shown in 7igures 3"a# and 3"b#. *he dielectric rods in air host give
P!G for the *ransverse =agnetic "*=# mode where the % field is polarized perpendicular to
the plane of periodicity. *he air holes in a dielectric region give "*ransverse %lectric# *%
modes where @ field is polarized perpendicular to the plane of periodicity.

2.3 THREE DIMENSIONAL PC:
A 3PCs is a dielectric structure which has periodic permittivity modulation along three
different a4es, provided that the conditions of sufficiently high dielectric contrast and suitable
periodicity are met, a P!G appears in all directions. 5uch 3 P!Gs, unli$e the ( and 2
ones, can reflect light incident from any direction. n other words, a 3 P!G material

DESIGN OF A NOVEL 2-D PHOTONIC CRYSTAL SUARE CAVITY
BASED BAND PASS FILTER
3.1 INTRODUCTION:
@ere we are designing a band pass filter for electromagnetic waves for which we are ta$ing
use of a 2- photonic crystal, we are ma$ing a waveguide and a suare cavity inside it by
introducing line defect, the four scatterer rods are situated on four corners of the suare
cavity, so it is a application of photonic crystal as a filter. n selecting a particular freuency
band there is a big role of scatterer and coupling roads of the photonic crystal, in our 2-
photonic crystal due to interaction of reflected waves from rods inside crystal having
different phases causes the cancellation of waves which are outside a particular freuency
band.
*he designed band pass filter can behave as a wavelength selective narrow band pass filter
with the introduction of scatterer rods at all the four corners of suare cavity. *his filter is
useful for wavelength division multiple4ing "

*his resonant suare cavity possesses dielectric scatterer rods at all the four corners which
provide high spectral selectivity. *he coupling rods are positioned between the in-line uasi

APPLICATIONS OF PHOTONIC CRYSTAL
*he ability to control and manipulate the spontaneous emission by introducing defects in
PCs, and related formation of defect state within P!G has been used for designing the optical
devices for different applications that are directed towards the integration of photonic
devices.
4.1 BRAGG MIRRORS:
%arliest e4ample of photonic crystal initial applications include mirrors for vcsels "vertical
cavity surface emitting lasers# consists of alternating uarter wavelength optical thic$ness
high and low refractive inde4 materials.

4.2 PHOTONIC WAVEGUIDES:

waveguide has some very interesting properties such as the ability to guide the light around
sharp corners that is not possible through conventional methods. *his effect has been used to
create waveguide splitters that can split a beam of light with the resultant beams being
transmitted in opposite directions to each other.
*he second consists of two types of fibers where photonic effects are used for guidance. +ne
where the refractive inde4 of the core is higher than the surrounding cladding, the other where
the core inde4 is lower such as the fibers which have a hollow core. 7igure 2 shows a cross-
section of such a fiber, and shows demonstrates how propagation occurs. *he method used
for the construction of such fibers has already been outlined in the section on the +ptical
'egime. As well as the continuing wor$ in constructing these fibers, wor$ is also being
conducted into how the they achieve their specific effect. B), 1. Canning, 2:::

that meet the !ragg conditions R K " 2.n.S.sinT #/m are permitted to propagate along the fibre.
+nly single-mode behaviour is allowed because an angular photonic band gap is generated by
the structure which is used to prevent the propagation of additional modes. *hese band gaps
are controlled by the physicals properties of the fibre and so fibres can be constructed to
specific reuirements in much the same way as tradition fibre are today.
4.3 PERFECT REFLECTORS:
+mni directional mirrors have many applications, such as the walls of laser cavities.
=etallic mirrors are freuently used, however, at freuencies in the optical regime they have
large dissipative losses. *his problem can be addressed through the use of photonic crystals
as proposed by 0ablonovitch. A 3 photonic crystal behaves as an omnidirectional reflector
with little or no loss. @owever, as has been outlined earlier in this report the fabrication of 3
structures for the reuired wavelengths has many serious problems that have yet to be
overcome.

&% we can forbid all modes for photons e4cept those which would normally escape the
crystal. As spontaneous emission in other modes is forbidden, all the energy will then go into
those modes which can escape. n this way we can have &%s which actually ta$e advantage
of the high internal uantum efficiency.
4.8 PHOTONIC CRYSTAL LASERS:
t has been speculated that photonic crystals can be used to produce lasers with an e4tremely
low lasing threshold. *his would allow lasers to operate at much higher efficiencies and with
much less power being lost as heat. @igh efficiency lasers would be very useful in the
photonic circuitry, or any application which involved a large number of lasers in a small
space.
As mentioned earlier, photonic crystals have the property of suppressing spontaneous
emission inside the photonic bandgap. t is forbidden for photons to propagate inside the
photonic bandgap, and hence it is forbidden for atoms in the crystal to emit photons with
these energies. n order for lasing to occur, a defect must be introduced into the material. *his
defect produces a freuency inside the bandgap at which photons can propagate. *his defect
should also be directional so that photons are permitted to propagate only in the desired
direction of the beam. *he energy which is pumped into the crystal may then only be emitted
by spontaneous or stimulated emission in a single direction. &asing action will then occur,
without any losses due to unwanted spontaneous emission.
7igure 9.3 Photonic crystal laser
+ne method which has been proposed is to use artificial opals. +pal consists of tiny spheres
of silica with a refractive of around (.9L. *hese spheres are arranged in an f.c.c. structure.
*his structure produces a periodic modulation in refractive inde4 and hence a photonic
crystal. *he space between the silica spheres can be filled with a laser die, to form the
18
8/12/2019 Edited Report Partm2
19/23
amplifying medium of the laser. *he use of photonic crystals, and in particular artificial opals
soa$ed in laser die, should allow the production of low threshold lasers, and be a maor
advantage in a range of technologies.
4. INTEGRATED PHOTONIC CIRCUITS:
7or a long time it has been hoped that photonics would follow electronics and create
integrated photonic circuitry. *he increase in data rates in optical communications produces a
considerable drive for ma4imum miniaturisation of photonic devices. @owever, there has
been little success in this area, both because of the large size of various components and the
difficult in guiding light around tight corners. n both these areas it should be possible to gain
considerable improvements through the use of photonic crystals. Photonic crystal waveguides
should allow for the introduction of much sharper corners than traditional optic fibres, and
the high efficiencies of &%s and lasers based on photonic crystals reduce the heat produced
by these devices and allows them to be pac$ed into a smaller space.
7igure 9.9 +ptical integrated circuits
Although, much research is on going, this area is still fairly speculative, and it is reasonable
to say that it shall be some time before integrated photonic circuitry is produced. @owever,
when it is,photonic crystals are li$ely to play a central role.
