摘要
We present a procedure for optimizing two-dimensional (2D) Photonic Band Gap (PBG) structures. The procedure discretizes the unit cell of a PBG structure into a binary cell and uses Direct Binary Search to search through a terrain of possible solutions in order to find a more optimal one. This process is designed either for improving the absolute band gap or opening a new one, for a predefined PBG structure. By applying the procedure on a honeycomb array of high dielectric objects in an air background, we increased its Maximum Absolute Gap-to-Midgap Ratio (MAGTMR) to more than twice that of the initial structure. To further prove the utility of this procedure, we also present other examples. (C) 2003 Optical Society of America.
