Modeling the angular distribution of radiation emitted by a luminescent dye embedded in a finite photonic crystal
Last modified: 2012-01-03
Abstract
In this work we present a numerical modeling of the angular distribution of radiation emitted
from a luminescent dye embedded in a finite one- and two-dimensional photonic crystal (PC). We
calculate the photonic band structure (PBS) and the density of states (DoS) using a classical approach.
The Finite Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) formalism has been used to simulate the angular
distribution of radiation. We have found the conditions where the luminescent-dye radiation is inhibited
or enhanced by the PBS.
