Abstract :
Based on plane wave expansion method, the band gaps of a two-dimensional terahertz photonic crystal with a square lattice are optimized through varying structural parameters. The electromagnetic field distribution is accurately described for a terahertz photonic crystal splitter by finite difference time domain method.
