Provided are a photonic-crystal plate that forms an optical waveguide and
an optical device assembly using the same, and more particularly, a
vertical-type photonic-crystal plate and an optical device assembly
configured to be easily integrated with surface-emitting light source
devices and surface-receiving light detector devices. The
photonic-crystal plate includes a plurality of cylindrical through holes
formed in a thickness direction and arranged in a periodic crystal
lattice structure. The plate further includes: a main crystal lattice
defect that forms a main optical waveguide for passing lights in a
direction perpendicular to the photonic-crystal plate; and a sub-crystal
lattice defect that forms a sub-optical waveguide for causing light in a
specific wavelength band among the lights passing through the main
optical waveguide to be optically coupled and passing the coupled light
in the direction perpendicular to the photonic-crystal plate.
