Influence of surface termination on inverse Goos-Hänchen shift of negatively refractive photonic crystals

The effect of surface termination on the inverse Goos Hanchen (GH) shift of two dimensional (2D) negatively refractive photonic crystal (NRPhC) containing air holes arranged in hexagonal lattice in a dielectric background is investigated for TM polarization. Results show that the magnitude of the inverse GH shift of 2DNRPhC strongly depends on surface termination even for an incident beam with a fixed frequency and incidence angle. Further study by calculating the dispersion of surface mode of 2D-NRPhC as a function of surface termination reveals that 2DNRPhC presents large inverse Goos Hanchen shift at those terminations where surface mode is excited, that is, large inverse Goos-Hanchen shift originates from backward surface mode of 2DNRPhC. In addition, the coupling coefficient of incident field into the field of surface mode as a function of surface termination is studied and demonstrates above results. This paper provides technical information regarding the combination of various functional photonic elements in the design of integrated optical circuits.

Energy flux pattern of inverse Goos-Hanchen shift in photonic crystals with negative index of refraction

The energy flux patterns of inverse Goos-Hanchen (GH) shift around the interface between air and negatively refractive photonic crystal (NRPhC) with different surface terminations is investigated. Results show that NRPhC exhibits inverse GH shift in TM and TE polarization, and the localization and pattern of energy flux differ in TM and TE polarizations and are strongly affected by surface termination. This is different to the condition of negative permittivity materials (i.e., metal), which only presents inverse GH shift in TM polarization. In the case of TE polarization, the energy flux pattern exhibits the flux of backward wave whose localization changes from the surface to inside of NRPhC with the variation of surface termination. In the case of TM polarization, the energy flux pattern is always confined within the surface of NRPhC, whereas its pattern changes from the flux of backward wave to vortices at the surface of NRPhC, which is different to the energy flux of TM polarization of metal. By properly truncating the surface of NRPhC we can control the magnitude of inverse GH shift for TM and TE polarized light.
