Two-dimensional coupled wave theory for square-lattice photonic-crystal lasers with TM-polarization.
We present a useful framework based on the coupled-wave theory, through which we can survey the resonant modes of TM polarization in 2D photonic-crystal lasers and understand their properties in detail. Through numerical calculations, we clarify their threshold gains, deviations from the Bragg frequency and field distributions. We find that the lasing mode can be selected by manipulating the hole-filling factor or the boundary reflection.
