Photonic crystals: physics and practical modeling
Sukhoivanov, Igor A.
Guryev, Igor V.
The great interest in photonic crystals and their applications in the past decade requires a thorough training of students and professionals who can practically apply the knowledge of physics of photonic crystals together with skillsof independent calculation of basic characteristics of photonic crystals and modelling of various photonic crystal elements for application in all-optical communication systems. This book combines basic backgrounds in fiber and integrated optics with detailed analysis of mathematical models for 1D, 2D and 3D photonic crystals and microstructured fibers, as well as with descriptions of real algorithms and codes for practical realization of the models. INDICE: Introduction.- Fundamentals of the wave optics.- Fundamentals of photonic crystal characteristics computation.- Band structure computation for 1D photonic crystal.- Band structure computation for 2D and 3D photonic crystals.- Computation methods for field distribution inside photonic crystal devices.- Peculiarities of the FDTD method application for the PhC band structures computation (the band structures computation by the FDTD method).- Microstructured optical fibers.- Photonic crystal optical waveguides.- Application for simulation of the optical WDM demultiplexer.
