Analysis of Two-Dimensional Photonic Crystal Optical Power Splitter with Microcavity

摘要

An efficient 1 x 2 optical power splitter constructed by a two-dimensional photonic crystal has been analyzed using the finite difference time domain (FD-TD) method. The power splitter has a microcavity which is coupled to an input and two output waveguides. We have confirmed that all optical power is transmitted into output waveguides due to resonant tunneling caused by the microcavity.
