Abstract

This paper describes how the optical properties of a quasi-one-dimensional photonic crystalline waveguide having a periodic air cavity are influenced by various structural parameters; the electromagnetic fields are simulated using the finite-difference time-domain method. The simulations considered four design parameters: cavity size, defect size, lattice constant, and number of cavity. The parameter sensitivity of the photonic bandgap property of the waveguide having air cavities is examined. A couple of significant design guidelines are obtained. We show that the quasi-one-dimensional photonic crystalline waveguide has significant unrealized potential.
