Design of New Y Splitter based on Photonic Crystal for Optical Communication

In this article, the development of a new structure of an optical Y-splitter based on photonic crystals (PhC) waveguide have been carried out. The performances of this new Y-splitter has been determined by using the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) and plane wave expansion (PWE) methods. We have chosen a hexagonal lattice 21×21 as a basic structure to design our Y-splitter. As the results, the...
