## Abstract Metallic waveguides can be constructed with sidewalls consisting of metallic rods instead of sheets. The attenuation constants and bandwidths of such waveguides are calculated for a fixed cutoff frequency while the radii of the metallic rods are varied. The propagation losses are found

## Abstract Different tapered‐waveguide junctions are investigated for coupling light between traditional dielectric and photonic‐crystal waveguides characterized by a triangular lattice of air holes. Efficient approaches for the taper design, which allow flat‐transmission efficiency higher than 85
## Abstract Devices based on two‐dimensional (2D) photonic crystals (PCs) are typically realized as 3D structures consisting of an array of holes (or rods) vertically etched through a slab waveguide. The existence of holes in a slab waveguide may induce strong radiation losses to the slab claddings
## Abstract A new way to reduce the critical power of the bistable behavior in nonlinear optical waveguides is presented. This is achieved by embedding circular photonic crystals (PCs), satisfying the Bragg condition, along a channel waveguide. Three different schemes are analyzed: PCs in the core
## Abstract We present a numerical analysis of the performance of three‐dimensional (3D) perfectly matched layer (PML) absorbing boundary conditions (ABCs) in a photonic crystal (PC) waveguide. This formulation dramatically reduces the reflections from the ends of the PC waveguide, leading to highl
## Abstract A substructuring approach for numerical optimization of photonic crystal devices is proposed and demonstrated. Specifically, we consider the matching of coupled cavity waveguides (CCW's)—known also as coupled resonators optical waveguides (CROWs)—to free space. In this approach, one sep
