Abstract

We have investigated ultra-short pulse propagation through 3D GaAs photonic crystals with a complete photonic band gap in the optical wavelength region. The pulse propagation was calculated by using the finite-differential time-domain (FDTD) method. This is the first time pulse shape measurements have been made using femtosecond pulses. From the experimental results, the shapes of the ultra-short pulses were found to change when the frequency was above the photonic band-gap after the propagation through the photonic crystal, corresponding to the simulation results.
