Design of waveguiding photonic bandgap devices by using the resonant PBG device Bloch-Floquet theorem

The design of some 1D waveguiding photonic bandgap (PBG) devices has been carried out by a model based on the Bloch-Floquet theorem. A low loss, very narrow passband GaAs PBG filter for the operating wavelength of 1.55 /spl mu/m, having an air bridge configuration, was designed and simulated. Moreover, a resonant Si on glass PBG device has been designed to obtain the resonance condition at 1.55 /spl mu/m.
