Analysis of TM Wave Properties through Sharp Bend in 2-D Air-hole Type Photonic Crystal Waveguide on Uni-axial Anisotropic Substrate by Condensed Node Spatial Network

Abstract

By use of the Photonic Band Gap in the photonic crystal, the waveguide and the devices for the light wavelength range can be developed.Due to the fine structure of these ones, the simulation is indispensable to grasp and predict the properties of those.So far, many analyses by FDTD and BPM have been performed. In this paper, the treatment of uni-axial anisotropic dielectric by the Condensed Node Spatial Network for vector potential is proposed, and it is also shown that this method has the advantage in parallel computation algorithm.The improvement of TM wave transmission property through the sharp bend in 2-D air-hole type photonic crystal waveguide on the uni-axial anisotropic substrate are presented.
