Self-collimation and beam splitting in low-index photonic crystals
We study self-collimation and beam splitting in low-refractive-index photonic crystals created within chalcogenide glass. We propose a beam splitter structure that allows direct experimental verification of photonic-crystal effects at optical wavelengths in a straightforward and definitive manner. The beam splitter provides angular separation of 90 using a highly compact spatial footprint, thus...
متن کاملSelf-Collimation in Planar Photonic Crystals
We analyze, in three dimensions, the dispersion properties of dielectric slabs perforated with two-dimensional photonic crystals (PCs) of square symmetry. The band diagrams are calculated for all -vectors in the first Brillouin zone, and not only along the characteristic high-symmetry directions. We have analyzed the equal-frequency contours of the first two bands, and we found that the square ...
متن کاملExperimental demonstration of self-collimation beaming and splitting in photonic crystals
I studied experimentally the beam self-collimation and splitting in two-dimensional microwave photonic crystals. Using a microwave photonic crystal fabricated from alumina rods, I present an experimental proof of principle for an earlier theoretical proposal [A. Matthews et al., Opt. Commun. 279, 313 (2007)] of a photonic crystal beam splitter based on the self-collimation effect.
متن کاملConditions for self-collimation in three-dimensional photonic crystals.
We introduce the theoretical criterion for achieving three-dimensional self-collimation of light in a photonic crystal. Based on this criterion, we numerically demonstrate a body-center-cubic structure that supports wide-angle self-collimation and is directly compatible with the recently developed holographic fabrication technique. We further show that both bends and beam splitters can be intro...
متن کاملSelf-collimation in PT -symmetric crystals
We predict the self-collimation phenomena (or equivalently, dynamical localization) in two-dimensional PT symmetric complex potentials, where the complex modulation is considered in the transverse, longitudinal, or simultaneously in both directions. Nondiffractive propagation is analytically predicted and further confirmed by numerical integration of a paraxial model. The parameter space is exp...
