Analysis of Yellow Light Generation Based on Photonic Crystals and Shock Wave

A new method of producing yellow light based on the interaction of shock wave and photonic crystals was analyzed. The change of refractive index of compressed photonic crystals was simulated. At wavelength of 580nm, the variation of band gap was studied. The influence factors were analyzed, and overcoming methods were proposed. The results show that the central wavelength of yellow light was influenced by the environmental temperature, the characteristics of materials and random error of making process. These adverse influences were eliminated by adopting stability measures of temperature, and selecting materials of good property. The results are useful to research and develop new source of yellow light.
