1. FORTH’s activity in the 2nd PCIC year
FORTH’s activity in the 2nd PCIC year
Person-months for the year 2: (in WP1)
Task: 2D and 3D modelling
Issues addressed:
·       Modal transmission (2D modelling)
-        Investigation of the mode coupling in bends
·       Bends in W3 (2D modelling)
-        Smoothed bends
-        Cavity bends
·       Combiners and splitters (2D modelling)
-        Symmetric & asymmetric combiners & splitters in W1 and W3
·       Out of plane losses (2D+3D modelling)
-        Dependence on the hole depth
-        Dependence on the width of the guiding layer
-        Examination-validation of the 2D model: 3D ≈ [2D+ε’’]
·       Simulation of experimental PC samples (3D modelling)
-        Simulation of bulk photonic crystals
