ABSTRACT: Knowledge of the band gap and transmission and
reflection spectrum of a photonic crystal is essential elements for their
design. A graphical interface that quickly determines the banding pattern and
spectrum based on the Plane Wave Method (PWM) and coupled modes method (CMM)
respectively is created. It is used to explore the behavior of a Bragg structure
with the ability to easily vary the important parameters such as refractive
indices, number and thickness of layers.
