Icosahedral quasicrystals by optical interference holography
Optical interference holography has been proven to be a useful technique in fabricating periodic photonic crystals in which electromagnetic waves are forbidden in certain frequency band gaps. Compared to periodic crystals, quasicrystals, having higher point group symmetry, are more favorable in achieving complete band gaps. In this letter, we propose two seven-beam optical interference configur...
متن کاملBand gap formation and multiple scattering in photonic quasicrystals with a Penrose-type lattice.
This Letter presents a study of the local density of states (LDOS) in photonic quasicrystals. We show that the LDOS of a Penrose-type quasicrystal exhibits small additional band gaps. Among the band gaps, some exhibit a behavior similar to that typical of photonic crystals, while others do not. The development of certain band gaps requires large-size quasicrystals. It is explained by the long-r...
متن کاملBand Structure and Dispersion Properties of Photonic Quasicrystals
In this paper, for developing analytical and semi-analytical methods to evaluate band structure in photonic quasicrystals the perturbation theory is examined. It is shown that more isotropic and complete photonic band gap can be observed under low dielectric contrast for photonic quasicrystals in comparison with ordinary crystals and because of this feature of photonic quasicrystals, perturbati...
متن کاملAn Approximate Analytic Model for Evaluating the Photonic Band Structure of a 2-D Octagonal Photonic Quasicrystals
In this work, using perturbation technique we have developed an approximate analytic model for evaluating the band structure of a 2-D octagonal photonic quasicrystal (PQC). Although numerical techniques are being used for evaluating such band structures, developing a numerical model to the best of our knowledge this work is the first instance of reporting helps to understand the physical proper...
متن کاملPhase Properties of One-Dimensional Quaternary Photonic Crystals
In this paper, properties of reflection phase in one-dimensional quaternary photonic crystals combining dispersive meta-materials and positive index materials are investigated by transfer matrix method. Two omnidirectional band gaps are located in the band structure of considered structure. However, we limit our studies to the frequency range of the second wide band gap. We observe that the val...
