Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystals (PCs) in thin-slab or waveguide structures open new possibilities in optoelectronic devices. A variety of structures and devices, as well as modelling tools, show that 2D-PCs etched through waveguides supported by substrates are a viable route to high-performance PC-based photonic integrated circuits (PIC). The basic kinematic properties of 2D-PCs such as transmission, reflection and diffraction coefficients were established. The planar waveguiding provided by the heterostructure, although appearing as weak in the first approximation (the waveguide index contrast is small compared to that of the air holes with the semiconductors), is very robust against the perturbation introduced by the PC air holes.
