New design of 2-D photonic crystal waveguide couplers

摘要

Based on couple wave equation and finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm,the strong couple characteristic of 2-D photonic crystal couplers is calculated.Theoretical analysis and numerical simulated results indicate that the energy in a 2-D photonic crystal coupler can not be totally transferred between two wave-guides.Compared with the result of weak coupling theory,our result is more accurate.
