Abstract
It is shown in this paper that many new sensitive phase photonic crystal devices will be developed, if some existing problems can be overcome. The main problems are the rapid change of light intensity around the defect mode and the influence of the substrate. The method for overcoming these problems is to construct the defective photonic crystal in a heterostructure or an asymmetric structure. The phase properties of asymmetric one-dimensional photonic crystals with couple defects are revealed in this paper. As examples, a phase modulator and a phase switch with very high sensitivity are demonstrated.
