Abstract

Effects of disorders on the performance of two-dimensional photonic crystal-based waveguides with cylindrical inclusions were studied. For position and size randomness, the quality of the waveguide was insensitive to the crystals where all cylinders except those in the boundary layer of the waveguide are disordered. Results showed that the uniformity of the microstructures in the boundary layer of the waveguide was important in ensuring the functionality of the waveguide.
