Provided are a two-dimensional planar photonic crystal superprism device
and a method of manufacturing the same, in which a manufacturing process
is simplified using a nanoimprint lithography technique, and thus
price-reduction and mass production are facilitated. The two-dimensional
planar photonic crystal superprism device includes: a single-mode input
waveguide comprising a straight waveguide having a taper structure and a
bending waveguide; a superprism formed on an output end side of the
single-mode input waveguide and comprising a slab and a photonic crystal
superprism; and a single-mode output waveguide comprising a straight
waveguide having a taper structure and a bending waveguide, and formed
adjacent to the photonic crystal superprism. Using the two-dimensional
planar photonic crystal superprism device, it is possible to facilitate
manufacturing of nano-photonic integrated circuits, photonic crystal
integrated circuits and nano-photonic systems. In addition, a
wavelength-selectable photonic crystal superprism device using high
dispersion of photonic crystal, which is several hundred times the
dispersion of conventional glass prism, can be manufactured using
thermal/hot and ultraviolet nanoimprint lithography techniques
corresponding to nano-manufacturing technology.
