Abstract :
This paper is focused on nonlinear photonic crystal (PC) structures from theoretical, fabrication, and practical points of views. The material platform for these structures is Si photonic crystals (fabricated using electron beam lithography and dry etching) infiltrated with nonlinear optical polymers. A two-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation tool based on a modification of the original Yee´s FDTD algorithm is developed.
