All-angle negative refraction in a three-dimensionally periodic photonic crystal
We introduce a photonic crystal that has a large range of effective negative refractive index in three dimensions ~3D! and demonstrate its negative-refraction property by numerical simulations. With slight modifications, our design is also amenable to layer-by-layer fabrication. This work should enable experimental observation of negative refraction and related phenomena in 3D at optical freque...
متن کاملDesign and Simulation of a New Highly Sensitive Gas Sensor Based on Negative Refraction Photonic Crystal
In this paper, design and simulation of a new highly sensitive gas sensor based on a hybrid photonic crystal (PC) structure, containing negative and positive refractive index sections, is presented. It has been shown that using a PC with negative refraction in the first section, the transmitted power is concentrated on the entrance of the sensing channel, and the transmission of the proposed se...
متن کاملNegative refraction, subwavelength focusing and beam formation by photonic crystals
We present a review of our experimental and numerical studies on the negative refraction related phenomena in two-dimensional dielectric photonic crystals (PCs). By employing photonic bands with appropriate dispersion, the propagation of the electromagnetic wave through a PC can be controlled to a large extent, and diverse and completely novel electromagnetic phenomena can be generated. We perf...
متن کاملLiquid crystal hyperbolic metamaterial for wide-angle negative-positive refraction and reflection.
We show that nanosphere dispersed liquid crystal (NDLC) metamaterial can be characterized in near IR spectral region as an indefinite medium whose real parts of effective ordinary and extraordinary permittivities are opposite in signs. Based on this fact we designed an electro-optic effect: an external electric-field-driven switch between normal refraction, negative refraction, and reflection o...
متن کاملUltrasensitive displacement sensing using photonic crystal waveguides
We present an ultrasensitive displacement sensor and sensing technique based on photonic crystal waveguides sPCWGd, useful for integration with microelectromechanical system sMEMSd structures. The sensor consists of two PCWGs aligned along a common axis, one mounted on a moving part and the other fixed to a stationary substrate. A gap between the fixed and moving PCWGs creates an intersection w...
