<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method with which the output of a surface mode is obtained, and to provide a photonic crystal system with which such an output is obtained. <P>SOLUTION: The three-dimensional photonic crystal system (1), with which the surface mode is outputted, is equipped with two three-dimensional photonic crystals (2, 3) whose top and reverse surfaces have different dielectric characteristics and a defect layer (4) provided between the two three-dimensional photonic crystals. In this crystal system, the surface mode can be effectively outputted by confining input light (hv) in ends of the three-dimensional photonic crystal (2), by controlling the physical properties of the system, for example, making the thickness of the defect layer proper. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
