Abstract

A planar photonic crystal waveguide having a square lattice of air holes etched on HDPE slab was modeled using FDTD software. Analysis of the transmitted signal shows that as the bend angle increases, the transmitted signal decreases significantly. Photonic band gap calculation shows that the designed waveguide has a large bandgap of ~0.08 – 0.64THz.
