Abstract :
Summary form only given. Photonic bandgap waveguide structures have been modeled successfully with a FDTD full-wave, vector Maxwell equation simulator. These nanometer sized waveguides and the extension of these geometries to power splitters (T-junctions) and switches (Y-junctions with a defect) are described.
