The Properties of a 1×4 Optional Power Splitter Made of Photonic Crystal Waveguide
Photonic crystal(PC) is a new artificial material. Its unique optical properties enable it to be used in fabricating novel optical devices. Optical power splitters made of photonic crystal waveguides are believed to become essential components for compact photonic integrated circuits. It can engender photonic crystal waveguide (PCW) in the complate two-dimensional photonic crystals by introducing line defects. We designed a 1×4 optical power splitter made of linear-defect waveguides in photonic crystals
and analyzed its properties using the finite-difference time-domain method. Results showed that the transmission properties vary with wave frequency and branch geometry
and that an incident wave is divided equally into four output parts. To reduce the reflections at the three Y-branching regions in the 1×4 splitter
we can adjust the radius of the medium cylinder in the branching region
and achieve high transmission for <em>R</em>=0.13<em>a</em> at each output waveguide. We analyzed the physical origins of this performance and this kind of multi-mode interference may find potential application in PC optical circuits.
