Abstract
The electromagnetic scale invariance rule was used to study photonic
crystal waveguides in microwave frequencies. This pedagogical approach
permits a hands-on experience for students and researchers on a complex
subject, a kind of experimental implementation that usually demands
sophisticated photonic fabrication resources. The microwave approach
allows one to construct conceptually equivalent but hand-manipulable
prototypes. Triangular photonic crystal waveguides, with and without
bends, were designed and constructed, and measured and
computer-simulated results were compared.
