Abstract

In this paper, we report a design of an asymmetric light propagation based on the Photonic Crystal (PC) structure. The proposed PC is constructed of an arrow-shaped structure integrating different rows of air holes which offer more than 65% transmission in one direction and less than 1% in the opposite direction. The proposed PC is based on the use of two parallel PC waveguides with different air holes in a single platform. The design, optimization and performance of the PC waveguide devices are carried out by employing in-house accurate 2D Finite Difference Time Domain (2D FDTD) computational techniques. Our preliminary numerical simulation results show that complete asymmetric transmission can be achieved in the proposed single structure which would play a significant contribution on realization of high-volume nanoscale photonic integrated circuitry.
