Design of  novel all-optical switching based on photonic-crystal heterostructure coupling waveguides

Abstract

Abstract:

An optical switching model was established based on the transmission characteristics of electromagnetic wave in the photonic-crystal coupling waveguides. The coupling length was calculated when the refractive index of the coupling dielectric rods is in different values by using the coupling mode theory and plane wave expansion method. Making finite-difference time-domain as the research tool, analyze the light wave output condition as the refractive index of the dielectric rods equals to 3 and 3.4, and the effect of the position of heterostructure to the optical switch functions. The result shows that it changes the function of the optical switch when the dielectric rods refractive index is 3.4, but the position of heterostructure doesn’t change the optical switch function. These properties can be used in the design of optical switches more flexibility in practice.
