Abstract

We demonstrate dispersion tailoring by coupling the even and the odd modes in a line-defect photonic crystal waveguide. Coupling is determined ab-initio using group theory analysis, rather than by trial-error optimisation of the design parameters. A family of dispersion curves is generated by controlling a single geometrical parameter. This concept is demonstrated experimentally with very good agreement with theory.

Fig. 1 PhC waveguide without (a) and with (b) perturbation. (c) Corresponding band diagram of the initial (perturbed) structure in black (red) line. The cyan markers indicate the modes for which the field distribution is shown in Figs. 2(a) and 2(b). The thin blue line corresponds to the dispersion obtained for a different perturbation as discussed in Fig. 2(d).

Fig. 2 Spatial distribution of the H_z-field, calculated at K=0.445, (a) Even mode and Odd mode. (b) even-like and odd-like mode for a dielectric perturbatation as presented in (c). (c) Calculated |γ_ee|, |γ_oo| and |γ_eo| coefficients for T=0.15a. Inset : corresponding Δε and its dominant symmetry (colors refers to opposite signs). (d) Idem as (c) but holes are moved in the same direction so the symmetry of Δε is now B₁ instead of A₂.
