SUMMARYMain modelling approaches used for investigating the Photonic bandgap (PBG) devices are reviewed. In particular, the model based on Leaky Mode Propagation (LMP) method is described.A complete analysis of the propagation characteristics, including the determination of modal propagation constants, electromagnetic field harmonics and total field distribution, transmission and reflection coefficients, total forward and backward power flow in the structure, guided and radiated power, and total losses, can be carried out by a computer program based on the LMP approach.The numerical results have been validated by comparisons with those obtained by using other more complex and expensive models.The new model shows some significant advantages in terms of very low computational time, absence of any a priori theoretical assumptions and approximations, capability of simulating the actual physical behaviour of the device and fast determination of the bandgap position.

“…The Bloch-Floquet (BF) method is one of the most efficient technique to study photonic bandgap devices because it is fully vectorial without any theoretical a priori assumption regarding the solution form (Passaro et al 2002;Giorgio et al 2002). The BF method enables a fast and accurate computation of propagation characteristics in 2D-PhC devices, using a Fourier series expansion of plane waves.…”

We report on a new model for simulating wave propagation in two-dimensional photonic crystals (PhCs) by means of Green's functions rearranged to fit on the geometrical and physical properties of the structure under investigation. The model can take into account physical effects occurring when the PhC is excited by either a point-like source, for the analysis of extended crystals with line and point defects, or a plane wave coming from infinite, to investigate mirrors and microlenses. The model has been used for studying a Fabry-Peròt cavity to evaluate its response in presence of a Hankel source or a plane wave excitation. A parametric investigation of the filter response as a function of the cavity length has been carried out and the best conditions to obtain an increase of quality factor of each resonant cavity mode have been determined.

“…It has been widely studied and fabricated in single-mode optical fibers, as well-known fiber bragg grating (FBG) (Hill and Meltz 1997), and surfacecorrugated waveguides (Spuehler and Erni 2000;Giorgio et al 2002;Wiesmann et al 2003) in photonic integrated circuits (PIC). The reflection bandwidth and the band position of Bragg grating are determined by the effective refractive indices of guided modes and the grating period.…”
