| Summary: | In this research, we have studied the photonic band structure, optical properties and thermal emission spectrum of 2D Silicon photonic crystal with hexagonal structure. The band structure, band gap map and the gap size versus radius have been calculated by plane wave expansion method. The maximum band gap size of TE (TM) polarization and the complete gap size are 51% (20%) and 17% at air hole radius r=0.43a (0.50a) and r=0.48a, respectively. The optical properies have been calculated by FDTD methd in the range of 1 to 10 . The thermal emission spectrum has been obtained from absorption by Kirchhoff’s law. The obtaine results show that by engineering the band structure, the thermal emission spectrum of 2D Silicon photonic crystal can be controlled in a manner that can be used in thermophotovoltaic systems. |
