摘要
A new type of photonic crystal (PC) based coupled-cavity waveguide (CCW), called an asymmetrical-defect coupled-cavity waveguide (AD-CCW), is presented. AD-CCWs produce single mode output with significantly narrower linewidths than conventional symmetrical-defect CCWs. We describe two different AD-CCW designs in two PC material systems: an alternating defect AD-CCW based on a silicon PC, and an incrementing defect AD-CCW based on an InGaAsP PC. The structures are simulated using three-dimensional (3D) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) calculations. A comparison of AD-CCWs and conventional CCWs is presented based on the simulation results.
