Experimental Verification of the Quantized Conductance of Photonic Crystal Waveguides

We report experiments that demonstrate the quantization of the conductance of photonic crystal waveguides. To obtain a diffusive wave, we have added all the transmitted channels for all the incident angles. The conductance steps have equal height and a width of one half the wavelength used. Detailed numerical results agree very well with the novel experimental results.

Surface waves in photonic crystal slabs

Photonic crystals with a finite size can support surface modes when appropriately terminated. We calculate the dispersion curves of surface modes for different terminations using the plane wave expansion method. These non-radiative surface modes can be excited with the help of attenuated total reflection technique. We did experiments and simulations to trace the surface band curve, both in good agreement with the numerical calculations.
