In this paper we investigate the optical properties of a self-collimating mesoscopic photonic crystal (MPhC) waveguide that exhibits high transmission, strong mesoscopic self-collimation and translational invariance. The design of the MPhC was performed by means of the 2D plane wave expansion method (2D-MPB code), while the MPhC waveguide has been analysed by a 3D FDTD code considering two different configurations: (a) a 3D strip waveguide with only 3 PhC hole rows and (b) a 3D wide waveguide with 172 PhC hole rows. The obtained results are extremely encouraging opening the way for novel configurations of routing elements and cascadable circuitry, exploiting the mesoscopic self-collimation.

Abstract
In this paper we investigate the optical properties of a self-collimating mesoscopic photonic crystal (MPhC) waveguide that exhibits high transmission, strong mesoscopic self-collimation and translational invariance. The design of the MPhC was performed by means of the 2D plane wave expansion method (2D-MPB code), while the MPhC waveguide has been analysed by a 3D FDTD code considering two different configurations: (a) a 3D strip waveguide with only 3 PhC hole rows and (b) a 3D wide waveguide with 172 PhC hole rows. The obtained results are extremely encouraging opening the way for novel configurations of routing elements and cascadable circuitry, exploiting the mesoscopic self-collimation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
