Polarization Stop Bands in Chiral Polymeric Three-Dimensional Photonic Crystals

Chiral 3D photonic crystals are an interesting subclass of 3D photonic crystals. For example, large complete 3D photonic bandgaps have been predicted for high-index-contrast silicon square-spiral structures; corresponding experiments using glancing-incidence deposition, interference lithography, or direct laser writing have been published. In addition to complete gaps or stop bands, theory also...

Wave Motion and Stop-Bands in Pipes with Helical Characteristics Using Wave Finite Element Analysis

Pipes are widely used in many industrial and mechanical applications and devices. Although there are many different constructions according to the specific application and device, these can show helical pattern, such as spiral pipes, wire-reinforced pipes/shells, spring-suspension, and so on. Theoretical modelling of wave propagation provides a prediction about the dynamic behavior, and it is f...

Resonant behavior and selective switching of stop bands in three-dimensional photonic crystals with inhomogeneous components.

We demonstrate that, in contrast with the well-studied photonic crystals consisting of two homogeneous components, photonic crystals comprised of inhomogeneous or multiple (three or more) components may bring new opportunities to photonics due to the discovered quasiperiodic resonant behavior of their (hkl) stop bands as a function of the reciprocal lattice vector. A resonant stop band cannot b...
