Abstract
We have evaluated leakage losses of one-dimensional photonic crystal
coupled resonator optical waveguides (1-D PC-CROW) by using
three-dimensional finite element method (3-D FEM). We propose structure of
1-D PC-CROW with shifted position of air-hole, changed size of air-hole, and
changed air-hole depth. We have also proposed air-bridge 1-D PC-CROW and
evaluated group velocity and leakage losses of these CROWs. Our numerical
results show that 1-D PC-CROW has large leakage losses, especially for
vertical direction, and the proposed structure can reduce leakage losses.
Leakage loss of 1-D PC-CROW with changed air-hole depth is two order of
magnitude lower compared with normal structure.
