Conducting electromagnetic wave analysis using the finite element method! Introducing a case study of an L-shaped optical waveguide.
Photonic crystals are structures that can control light by periodically arranging multiple dielectrics and other materials.
Electromagnetic wave analysis was conducted using the finite element method. The optical waveguide consists of periodically arranged dielectric rods, and light passes through areas where there are no dielectric rods.
The radius of the rods, r, and the period of the rods, a, are set as r = 0.18a, and the electric field component parallel to the dielectric rods was input.
【Case Overview】
