Reply To: Photonic Crystal refractive index Setting

Hi,

In the Profile Designer you can create and define materials. Later when creating the photonic crystal structure you can choose which material to use.

There is a bandgap solver included with OptiFDTD, so you could get the bandgap graphs from there. You can also you Observation Areas/Lines to determine the reflectance and transmittance vs wavelength.

There are some tutorials on these subjects at the following link:
