Abstract :
The photonic crystal structure, considered in this work is a two-dimensional photonic band-gap slab which consists of triangular array of air holes etched into the substrate with one straight waveguide and isolated point defects. Because it is lossless through the spectral region chosen, optical properties of GaAs is used in this simulation. The structure was designed to have a complete band-gap for both TE-like and TM-like modes
