Abstract

A general design for high-bandwidth, single-mode, lossless, optical micro-circuitry with fully three-dimensional circuit paths is demonstrated. Our 3D circuit design consists of dense stacking several planar microchip layers into the 2D-3D photonic band gap heterostructures and linking them with vertical interconnects. The 3D microchip enables an extra “dimension” of up to 200 nanometer single-mode wave-guiding in each planar chip layer and 100 nanometer bandwidth chip-to-chip interconnects in a variety of 3D PBG materials, including woodpile, slanted pores, and square spiral 3D PBG materials.

  31. Strictly speaking, the two bands can be represented by two bases polarized in any two orthogonal directions in the x-y plane since they are doubly degenerate. However, it is more convenient to consider them as polarized along the x- and y- directions, respectively, as in the text.

Strictly speaking, the two bands can be represented by two bases polarized in any two orthogonal directions in the x-y plane since they are doubly degenerate. However, it is more convenient to consider them as polarized along the x- and y- directions, respectively, as in the text.

Schematic of a 3+1D optical micro-chip for the woodpile 3D PBG architecture. The bottom, intermediate, and top cladding sections of the 3D micro-chip (consisting of the woodpile 3D PBG material) are separated to help visualize the 2D micro-chip layers (square lattice of red rods). The vertical waveguide is created by removing certain parts of dielectric rods along the y-direction marked by yellow and green (see text). A part of the bottom cladding section (inside the black wire frame) is made transparent to show end segment of the vertical waveguide (green) in (a). The transparent white strips are guides for the eyes. The y-z cross sections at the centers of the lower and upper 2D PC waveguides are shown in (b) and (c), respectively. The upper 2D PC waveguide is shifted to the +x-direction by 0.5a relative to the lower 2D PC waveguide. The orange rod in the upper 2D micro-chip layer in (c) and the dark blue woodpile rods in (b) and (c) are not shown in (a) for the sake of visualization of other features.

(a) Schematic of the woodpile 3D PBG material. (b) Band structure for the woodpile structure using a tetragonal lattice for the Bloch vectors along the z-direction. There are two pairs of doubly degenerate bands below the PBG. The arrow points to the mode for which the electric displacement field distribution is shown in (c) and (d). This corresponds to the first band at the Bloch vector 0.25 [2π/c]. Large amplitudes of the y-component of electric displacement field in the x-y plane are shown as red shading at the center of the (c) first and (d) third layers. Except for the different envelope wave vector, the field pattern shown here is similar to that of the first band at the Z-point discussed in the text and Appendix. The numbers 1-4 denote the positions and stacking order of the woodpile layers.
