“…There are several devices taking advantage of this property both in PC waveguides [12][13][14] and in extended photonic crystal lattices [15][16][17]. In this case the light is not guided through any specific direction and the area for slow light is extended along the full photonic crystal structure.…”

Abstract:A complete theoretical and experimental analysis of the photonic band structure for the Suzuki-phase lattice is presented. The band diagrams were calculated by two-dimensional plane wave expansion and three-dimensional guided-mode expansion methods. Angle resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy has been used to measure the emission of the photonic crystal structure realized in active InAsP/InP slabs. Photonic bands with a very low group velocity along an entire direction of the reciprocal lattice have been measured, which may have important applications on future photonic devices. The experimentally determined dispersion is in very good agreement with the calculated photonic bands. The presence of defect modes produced by microcavities in the Suzuki-phase lattice has also been established. 77, 1937-1939 (2000).

“…PCs can produce special regions named photonic band gaps (PBGs) originating from the interface of Bragg scattering [3,4], which can control the propagation of electromagnetic wave (EM wave). This feature makes PCs potentially be used to design various applications due to their ability to control the propagation of light, such as defect cavities [5], waveguide [6], defect-mode PCs lasers [7], filter [8], omnidirectional reflector [9,10], and band-edge lasers [11][12][13]. However, the PBGs of conventional PCs will suffer from high sensitivity to the lattices and randomness, which means that PBGs cannot be changed as the dielectrics and topology of PCs are certain, and may also be affected by the errors in manufacturing.…”

Abstract-In this paper, the properties of photonic band gaps (PBGs) for three-dimensional (3D) photonic crystals (PCs) composed of isotropic positive-index materials and epsilon-negative materials with pyrochlore lattices are theoretically investigated by a modified plane wave expansion method. The eigenvalue equations of calculating the band structures for such 3D PCs in the first irreducible Brillouin zone (spheres with the isotropic positive-index materials inserted in the epsilon-negative materials background) are theoretically deduced. Numerical simulations show that the PBG and a flatbands region can be achieved. It is also found that larger PBG can be obtained in such PCs structure than the conventional lattices, such as diamond, face-centered-cubic, body-centered-cubic and simple-cubic lattices. The influences of the relative dielectric constant of spheres, filling factor, electronic plasma frequency, dielectric constant of epsilon-negative materials and damping factor on the properties of PBG for such 3D PCs are studied in detail, respectively, and some corresponding physical explanations are also given. The calculated results also show that the PBG can be manipulated by the parameters mentioned above except for the damping factor. Introducing the epsilon-negative materials into 3D dielectric PCs can obtain the complete and larger PBG as such 3D PCs with pyrochlore lattices, and also provides a way to design the potential devices.

“…Periodic photonic structures exhibit interesting effects, such as enhanced gain [1][2][3] anomalous group velocity and dispersion, 1,4 at the photonic-band edges. Notably, the control of the spontaneous emission of emitters inside these periodic structures has been widely investigated.…”

International audienceIn a multimode photonic-crystal waveguide, we observe strong enhancement of the photoluminescence of embedded quantum dots at the edges of the so-called mini-stopband that were opened by Bragg diffraction between two guided modes. Taking into account light collection, we relate this observation to the singular photon density of states that is characteristic of a one-dimensional photon system. Furthermore, we quantify by how much the radiation losses smooth the divergence. For the first time to our knowledge, a clear account of the control of spontaneous emission in a one-dimensional system is thus demonstrated
