Negative-index imaging by an index-matched photonic crystal slab
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report negative-index imaging at near infrared wavelengths using a photonic crystal PC with an effective index matched closely to air as the incident medium. A tapered waveguide is used to generate a point-sourcelike object field; and to probe the focusing behavior of the PC, an array of 500 nm wide photonic wire waveguides is placed in the backplane of the PC lens. This represents a sampling of the image field at the rate of one data point per free space wavelength 0 . For TM polarization, a well-defined 1.7 0 spot is observed, while the TE polarization lies near the photonic band edge and exhibits spreading and low transmission. We also investigate the wavelength dependence and experimentally show the performance of the negative index lens as a function of frequency.

Role of the Lens Thickness and the Surface Termination in the Formation of Subwavelength Images by a Negative-Index Photonic-Crystal Slab
A two-dimensional photonic-crystal engineered to possess a refractive index equal to minus one at a certain frequency is used as a flat superlens. Subwavelength imaging (image size below half a wavelength) is observed both in the near-field and far-field regimes when the interface with air is properly terminated to support surface states with even

In this article, we present an experimental and numerical study of certain optical properties of twodimensional dielectric photonic crystals (PCs).
