TE optical switch based on slab photonic crystals with high degree of polarization and large extinction ratio

摘要

The present invention discloses a TEOS based on slab PhCs with a high DOP and large EXR, which comprises an upper slab PhC and a lower slab PhC; the upper slab PhC is a first square-lattice slab PhC with a TM bandgap and a complete bandgap, wherein the unit cell of the first square-lattice slab PhC includes a high-refractive-index rotating-square pillar, a single first flat dielectric pillar and a background dielectric, the first flat dielectric pillar includes a high-refractive-index dielectric pipe and a low-refractive-index dielectric, or a high-refractive-index flat film, or a low-refractive-index dielectric; the lower slab PhC is a second square lattice slab PhC with a TM bandgap and complete bandgap, wherein the unit cell of the second square-lattice slab PhC includes a high-refractive-index rotating-square pillar, a single second flat dielectric pillar and a background dielectric, and an normalized operating frequency of the TEOS is 0.453 to 0.458.
