Abstract

This work explores the effects of parity-time (PT) symmetry on the modes of photonic crystal defect waveguides. Two designs are considered. In the first, the defect modes are protected from PT transitions, but edge modes in the complex conjugate frequency regime appear. In the second design, the defect modes exhibit thresholdless PT transitions.
