Abstract

A two dimensional photonic crystal with hexagonal symmetry is investigated by finite-difference time-domain and finitedifference frequency-domain theoretical calculations. The system consist in a germanium substrate patterned with holes of different radii, varying from to . The photonic band gaps (PBGs) and the reflectance spectra allow a complete characterization of the structure. It was shown the presence of PBGs at telecommunication wavelengths which makes the present systems suitable for optoelectronic applications, representing a potential alternative to Si-based technology.
