Modelling dispersion in photonic crystal and its application in reducing chromatic dispersion

In this work we model the dispersive properties of photonic crystal (PC) modelling. Our final aim is making easier the choice of the appropriate direction when correcting waveguide's dispersion with a PC material. In this case the optical propagation properties are strongly modified by the anisotropy of the photonic crystal. The transmission of a plane wave will depends on the wavelength and its direction. The results are obtained by using numerical tools: Bandsolve of RSoft [1].
