Its transmission characteristics are analysed from the stimulated band diagram by the effective index and the 2D plane wave expansion （PWE） methods. In the experiment, the transmission band edge in a longer wavelength of the photonic crystal waveguide is about 1590 nm, which is in good qualitative agreement with the simulated value. However, there is a disagreement between the experimental and the simulated results when the wavelength ranges from 1607 to 1630 nm, which can be considered as due to the unpolarized source used in the transmission measurement.展开更多

A ministop band （MSB） is observed by the measurement of transmission characteristics. It results from the coupling between the two modes with the same symmetry, which is analysed from the stimulated band diagram by the effective index and the two-dimensional plane wave expansion methods. The parameter working on the MSB is the ratio of the radius of air holes to the lattice constant, fla. It is obtained that the critical τ/a value determining the occurrence or disappearance of MSB is 0.36. When τ/a is larger than or equal to 0.36, the MSB occurs.
