Abstract

The effects of the lattice pitch of GaN and polymer square-lattice photonic crystal (2PhC) on the diffracted transmission were studied by using rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA). Besides the first-order Bragg diffraction, higher-order diffractions from large pitches of PhC are also significant to the light extraction improvement. Three different diffraction mechanisms are illustrated through wave vector analysis. The enhancement factors of integrated transmission are obtained from a wide range of pitches with micro-scale for both GaN and polymer 2PhC. The experimental angular-resolved transmission on a transparent polymer sample of 2 microm pitch 2PhC is comparable to the simulation.
