Tunable anisotropic defect structures in 2D photonic crystals using the Wannier function approach — •Patrick Mack¹, Matthias Schillinger¹, and Sergei Mingaleev^1,2 — ¹Institut für theoretische Festkörperphysik, Universität Karlsruhe — ²Bogolyubov Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kiev

We present the Wannier function approach for numerically efficient computation of the optical properties of tunable anisotropic defect structures in 2D photonic crystals (PCs). Together with the transfer matrix method we show how waveguide dispersions of tunable anisotropic waveguides in PCs can be efficiently computed. These methods are suitable for modeling and design optimization of photonic devices for building upcoming photonic integrated circuits.
