ABSTRACT:
A photonic crystal includes a plurality of photonic crystal slabs that is suited for confining TE polarizations and TM polarizations. The photonic crystal slabs include alternating slabs of dielectric rods and air holes. The alternating slabs create a lateral symmetry plane. The alternating slabs of dielectric rods and air holes further include planar line defects resulting in the formation of defect bands inside the bandgap of the photonic crystal.
