Photonic crystal is dielectric materials or a set of different dielectric materials with periodic structure. Line defect is obtained by leaving out a row of rods along the $\Gamma$-X direction. We showed the change of group velocity in waveguide mode and found resultant small group velocity. Characteristics of the small group velocity were described by electric field distribution. Investigating the phase shift, it is confirmed if small group velocity is positive or negative.

Optical waveguide based on symmetric and asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer(MZI) type was designed, fabricated and measured the optical characteristics for the application of biosensor. The wavelength of the input optical signal for the device was 1550 nm. And the difference of refractive index was $0.45\;{\Delta}\%$ between core and cladding of the device. The TM(Transverse Magnetic) mode optical properties of the biosensor were analyzed with the refractive index variation of gold thin film deposited for overclad. Nowadays, nano-photonic crystal structures have been paied much attention for its high optical sensitivity. There is a technique to realize the structure, which is called Dip-Pen Nanolithography(DPN) process. The process requires a nano-scale process patterning resolution and high reliability. In this paper, two dimensional nano-photonic crystal array on the surface was proposed for improving the sensitivity of optical biosensor. And the Dip-Pen Nanolithogrphy process was investigated to realize it.

We present an analysis of highly-dispersive guided modes of two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguides. By the plane ave expansion method, band structures and mode profiles of two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguides are obtained. It is found that guided modes have very small group velocities and very large group velocity dispersions in the region near the f-point and in the region near the Brillouin zone edge. Especially, the group velocity dispersions are found to be millions of times larger than that of a conventional optical fiber. The contributions of the transverse resonance formed by two photonic band gap reflectors and the standing wave mode formed by periodic structures are discussed. We conclude that the highly-dispersive characteristics originate from the resonator-like aspect of the photonic crystal waveguide.

Room-temperature continuous operation of two-dimensional photonic crystal lasers is achieved at 1.6 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ by using InGaAsP slab-waveguide triangular photonic crystal on top of wet-oxidized aluminum oxide. The main difficulty in the realization of photonic bandgap (OBG) structures has been the nontrivial difficulties in nanofabrication, especially for 3-dimensional PBG structures. Recently, 2-D PBG structures have attracted a great deal of attention due to their simplicity in fabrication and theoretical study as compared to the three-dimensional counterparts [1]. Recently, air-gulfed 2-D slab PBG lasers were reported by Caltech group [2]. However, this air-slab structure is mechanically fragile and thermally unforgiving. Therefore, a new structure that can remove this thermal limitation is dearly sought after for 2-D PBG laser to have practical meaning. In this talk, we report room-temperature continuous operation of 2-D photonic bandgap lasers that are thermally and mechanically stable.

In this study, a wide-band photonic crystal Y-splitter for TE modes is proposed. A triangular lattice of air holes etched in a GaAs slab is used as the platform. In order to numerically analyze the structures, plane wave expansion (PWE) and finite difference time domain (FDTD) methods are used. In comparison with the structures reported in the literature, the proposed topology has a less complexity while it provides more than 100nm bandwidth. The simplicity of the design, its high transmission ratio and its wide bandwidth makes it a suitable choice for the implementation of photonic crystal integrated circuits.

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a ring resonator with sharp U-turns fabricated on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate; the resonator was designed as a key part of an optical, dynamic data storage device. We discuss the optical properties of the fabricated ring resonator from the viewpoint of equi-frequency-contour behavior in a dispersion space. We successfully characterize its optical characteristics on the basis of photonic crystal physics. It is suggested that the photonic ring resonator will be applicable to optical, dynamic memory devices for optical communication systems.

광결정(photonic crystal)은 빛의 파장 크기 정도의 격자 상수를 지닌 1차원, 2차원, 또는 3차원의 주기적인 구조이다. 광결정에는 광밴드갭(photonic bandgap)이라는 빛의 자발 방출이 억제된 진동수의 영역이 존재하는데, 이 영역을 이용하여 빛의 자발 방출을 조절하고 빛의 흐름을 제어할 수 있다. $^{[1]}$ 지난 10여년간 2차원, 3차원의 광결정 구조에 대한 연구가 많이 이루어져 왔는데, 최근에는 슬랩 도파관(slab waveguide)에 2차원 광결정을 만든 구조에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행중이다. 이 구조는 평면 방향으로는 광밴드갭 효과로 광모드를 가둘 수 있고 수직 방향으로는 전반사를 이용하여 모드를 가둘 수 있어서 3차원적인 모드 confinement 효과를 얻을 수 있다. [그림 1]의 (a)에 air-bridge 형태의 2차원 광결정 슬랩(photonic crystal slab) 구조를 도식적으로 나타내었고, (b)에는 본 연구실에서 제작한 구조 표면의 scanning electron micrograph을 나타내었다. 현재 몇몇 연구 그룹에서 이와 같은 광결정 슬랩 구조를 이용한 반도체 레이저를 실현하는데 성공하였다.$^{[2,3]}$ (중략)

Air-guided single-mode propagation of THz radiation in a photonic crystal waveguide (PCW) has been experimentally demonstrated for the first time. The PCW has been fabricated by introducing an air defect at the center of an air/Si 1D photonic crystal. By using a THz time-domain spectroscopic technique, we have experimentally shown that the guiding mechanism of the air-guiding PCW is the photonic bandgap effect.

Directional emission of light exiting a photonic crystal waveguide by a coherent action of radiative surface modes was recently demonstrated, and subsequently the substantial enhancement of the directional emission was achieved by engineering the surface and adjusting relevant parameters. Here we present the analysis of surface modes causing the enhanced emission by the plane wave expansion method and the finite-difference time-domain method. In particular, surface band structures are calculated for nonradiative and radiative surface modes, respectively, and intensity profiles of some representative modes for nonradiative and radiative cases are given.

이 연구에서는 2차원 삼각형 격자모양의 광결정(photonic crystal) 슬랩위에 형성된 막대형 공진기를 이용한 레이저 발진을 보고한다. 막대형 공진기란 그림 1과 같이 광결정 도파로(waveguide)를 기반으로 하여 만들어진 것으로, (a)와 같이 직선형으로 된 공진기, (b)와 같이 도파로의 진행방향에서 60도 꺾인 공진기, (c)와 같이 120도 꺾인 공진기의 세 가지 형태에 대하여 연구하였다. 이와 같은 형태의 공진기는 기본적으로 광결정 도파로와 형태가 비슷하므로, 공진 모드도 광결정 도파로의 도파모드와 비슷한 성질을 가질 것으로 추측해볼 수 있다.
