Abstract
We proposed a coherent source based on parametric down-conversion in a photonic crystal. Our design is based on the band edge or defect-mode field enhancement phenomena near a photonic band gap. The numerical results show that a range of bandwidths, intensities, and frequencies up to 12 THz can be obtained.
