Optics 2015-05-28 v1

Abstract

A general coupled-wave model is presented for square-lattice photonic crystal (PC) lasers with transverse-electric polarization. This model incorporates the high-order coupling effects that are important for two-dimensional PC laser cavities and gives a general and rigorous coupled-wave formulation for the full three-dimensional structures of typical laser devices. Numerical examples based on our model are presented for PC structures with different air-hole shapes. The accuracy of the results obtained is verified using three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain simulations.
