Abstract :
In this work we model the dispersive properties of photonic crystal (PC) modelling. Our final aim is making easier the choice of the appropriate direction when correcting waveguide´s dispersion with a PC material. In this case the optical propagation properties are strongly modified by the anisotropy of the photonic crystal. The transmission of a plane wave will depends on the wavelength and its direction. The results are obtained by using numerical tools: Bandsolve of RSoft [1].
