This national project is related to COST 288 Action. It is directed
toward deep physical understanding, adequate theoretical description and
experimental characterization of dispersion properties of waveguiding
structures in photonic crystals, having in mind their application in
photonic devices for telecommunications. Numerical stability of the 2-D
bi-directional eigenmode propagation method combined with the Floquet
mode calculation will be improved to allow for modelling more extended
photonic bandgap structures. Detailed modal analysis of waveguides and
waveguide devices in photonic crystals based on the method of
generalised immitance or reflectance will be developed. A set-up for
experimental characterisation of photonic crystal waveguide components
based on a fine-tunable narrow-line laser will be completed, aiming at
its application to spectral attenuation and dispersion measurements of
optical waveguides and waveguide devices in the spectral range of 1500 -
1600 nm.
