Abstract

In this work, using Plane Wave Expansion (PWE) and two-dimensional Finite Difference Time Domain (2D-FDTD) methods, we design a structure that shows the high asymmetry in propagation of light. Structure is based on two-dimensional Photonic Crystal (2D-PC) consisting of square lattice (39 X 39) of infinitely long circular rods of refractive index 2.9 in the background of refractive index 1. Radius of rods is 0.15a, where a is the lattice constant and chosen as 0.5 µm. To achieve the asymmetry in propagation of light, shape of rods of one of the diagonals of the proposed structure are modified from circular to elliptical. Structure is having less footprint area and high signal contrat ratio. Observed signal contrast ratio is 0.549 at operating frequency a⁄λ=0.569. Being linear and nonmagnetic, proposed structure may be useful to construct optical logical devices and circuits, and would facilitate for realization of photonic networks.
