Abstract

We employ topology optimization with the finite‐element method to improve the coupling between a slab waveguide and a photonic crystal waveguide. Here, we apply topology optimization in a small design region to realize the improvement of the coupling. Also, we simplify an optimized structure of the coupling region for easier fabrication and try to find core features of the optimized structure. Β© 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Longitudinally shifting waveguide junctions can achieve high efficiency light coupling from external silica waveguides into photonic crystal waveguides (PCWs) without requiring taper PCW structures in the waveguide junctions. Due to the periodic field distribution of PCWs along the propagation direc

In this paper, we show how the coupling of light into a photonic crystal waveguide can be greatly enhanced by creating a periodic modulation in the dielectric structure surrounding the entrance of the waveguide. In this way, surface modes supported by the system can funnel the light that impinges on

## 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
