摘要
A simple and non-destructive optical characterizing method for the 2D photonic crystal (PC) slab was carried out by using specular spectroscopic ellipsometry. The rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) was further applied to analyze the measured ellipsometric parameters and then to simulate the structure of the measured photonic crystal. A 2D square lattice of silicon rods fabricated by electron-beam lithography on the silicon substrate was used as a testing sample in this study. The reflectance spectrum of the characterized 2D PC was also simulated by RCWA to reflect its photonic bandgap behavior directly. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
