Abstract

We study theoretically the symmetric property and coupling efficiency of the defect modes in a two-dimensional phononic crystal by calculating band structures, field distributions and transmission coefficients of the defect modes. The results show that the point defect could act as a microcavity surrounded by the phononic crystal, and the confining ability of the phononic crystal to the resonant modes strongly depends on the thickness of the phononic crystal. By investigating the transmission spectra, we also find that the defect modes cannot be absolutely excited by the normally incident plane waves. The transmission coefficients are calculated by using the eigen-mode match theory method under the supercell technique, which is applied to the phononic crystals with the defects for the first time.
