چکیده
This article details microfabrication of two-dimensional tungsten photonic crystals (2D W PhCs) for high-temperature applications such as selective thermal emitters for thermophotovoltaic energy conversion. In particular, interference lithography and reactive ion etching are used to produce large area single crystal tungsten 2D PhCs. For this investigation, we fabricated a 2D W PhC sample consisting of an array of cylindrical cavities with 800 nm diameter, 1.2 lm depth, and 1.2 lm period. Extensive characterization and calibration of all microfabrication steps are presented. Experimentally obtained thermal emissivity spectrum is shown to match well with numerical simulations.

Design and Analysis of a Novel Hexagonal Shaped Channel Drop Filter Based on Two-Dimensional Photonic Crystals
In this paper a new optical channel drop filter (CDF) based on two dimensional (2-D) photonic crystals (PhC) with hexagonal shaped structure is proposed and numerically demonstrated by using the finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) and plane-wave-expansion (PWE) techniques. Photonic crystals (PhCs) are artificial dielectric nanostructure materials in which a periodic modulation of the material ...
