Role of the Lens Thickness and the Surface Termination in the Formation of Subwavelength Images by a Negative-Index Photonic-Crystal Slab

چکیده
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

Imaging with subwavelength resolution by a generalized superlens at infrared wavelengths.
We demonstrate experimentally negative refraction by a photonic crystal prism and imaging of a point source by a photonic crystal slab at 1.5 microm wavelength. The photonic crystal structures were nanofabricated in a InGaAsP/InP heterostructure platform, and optical characterization was performed using a near-field scanning optical microscope. By designing a suitable lens surface termination, ...
متن کاملAnalytical Investigation of TM Surface Waves in 1D Photonic Crystals Capped by a Self-Focusing Left-Handed Slab
In this paper, the localized TM surface waves of a nonlinear self-focusingleft-handed slab sandwiched between a uniform medium and a one-dimensionalphotonic crystal (1D PC) is analytically investigated. Our method is based on the firstintegral of the nonlinear Maxwell's equations. For the TM surface waves, the presenceof two electric field components makes the analysis difficult. Therefore, we ...
متن کاملInvestigation tow of negative refraction characters in the three different 2D phononic crystals
In this paper, a two-dimensional phononic crystal comprising of steel rod in water is investigated. Three cross- sections for this rod are considered using finite element method (EFM). We plot the equifrequency surface of the first band, because of equifrequency surface convex around the edge of the first Brillouin Zone, we guess the negative effective phononic mass and so negative refraction. ...

In this paper the design and three dimensions (3D) simulation of a photonic crystal (PC) pressure sensor is presented. The device is based on a 2D PC slab of PbMoO4. The simulations are based on finite element method (FEM) and finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and are done using CST STUDIO SUITE software. The sensitivity of the proposed sensor is calculated by considering the deformat...
متن کاملTunable superlensing by a mechanically controlled photonic crystal
We investigated negative refraction and subwavelength imaging by a mechanically tunable photonic crystal (PC) slab. A honeycomb-structured PC composed of a silicon–polyimide membrane was used because it exhibits isotropic negative refraction within the second photonic band. Using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, we demonstrated focusing properties of the PC lenses at various fre...
