ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to different methods for controlling the positions of the guided modes of the photonic crystal waveguides. Methods based on both rearrangement of the holes and changing the size of the holes are presented. We have observed and explained the appearance of acceptor-type modes and the donor-type waveguides. The ability to tune frequencies of the guided modes within a frequency bandgap is necessary in order to achieve efficient guiding of light within a waveguide (reduced lateral and vertical waveguide losses) as well as to match frequencies of eigen modes of different photonic crystal based devices in order to have good coupling between them.
