Temperature properties of slab photonic crystal liquid crystal micro-cavity

Abstract

Abstract:

The slab photonic crystal liquid crystal micro-cavity is formed by introduce liquid crystal defect whose thickness equalize to the light wavelength into the center air hollow of planar photonic crystal. The temperature properties of liquid crystal micro-cavity are discussed using the FDTD, and calculated by Matlab. The results show that the resonant wavelength move into long wavelength, defect mode width decrease, quality factor increase as temperature increase, the change curve of resonant wavelength and quality factor with filling factor and slab thickness move into large. The temperature properties change rapid with close into the liquid crystal clear point. The design based of the temperature properties of liquid crystal micro-cavity on photonic crystals in LED, integrated optics, photoelectric detection and sensing.

Key words: optoelectronics, temperature properties, FDTD, slab photonic crystal, liquid crystals micro-cavity
