Using the finite difference time domain method, we evaluate the coupling efficiency at various temperatures for an intrinsic semiconductor. Photonic crystal waveguide is constructed by replacing one row of alumina rods by InSb rods. Calculation shows a proper thermal tunability of coupling efficiency and the efficiency is improved by increasing the temperature. %> http://opsi.ir/article-1-643-en.pdf %P 1157-1160 %& 1157 %! %9 Research %L A-10-1-623 %+ University of Tabriz %G eng %@ 1126-3278 %[ 2015
