Isotropic photonic gaps in a circular photonic crystal

Abstract: We investigated the optical properties of a circular photonic crystal (CPC) for which the distance between lattices was systematically distributed. The transmission spectra of CPC composed of alumina cylinders were examined in the frequency region from 0 to 20 GHz. We show that photonic gaps are obtained not only in CPCs but also in phase-shifted CPCs. The isotropic photonic gaps are evidenced by changes in the incident angle of a millimeter wave.

“…This permits the analysis in terms of propagation characteristics (allowed or forbidden modes, propagation and attenuation constants…), that can be summarized in dispersion diagrams. Additionally, other radial structures such as dielectric photonic crystals have also been investigated, [24,25], with the target of creating isotropic bandgaps and high quality-factor (Q) resonators, [26]. Nevertheless, these radial proposals were not easily described in terms of purely periodic parameters.…”

“…Thus, some of the wave-guided modes (trapped modes lying below the light line) will be shifted to the diffracted modes lying above the light line and escape from the device [2]. Photonic quasi-crystals (PhQs) are similar to PhCs but rely on a quasi-crystal arrangement of scattering objects [5,[9][10][11]. PhQs possess high symmetry orders not achievable in nature and offer many desirable features, such as isotropic PBGs, operation in low refractive index materials, diffraction not arising from the nearest neighbor dielectric rod interactions, and flat dispersion bands.…”

“…Circular 2D-PCs are indeed not periodic structures but they are able to inhibit the propagation of the electromagnetic waves in a similar fashion with respect to triangular-patterned photonic crystals. The photonic band gap on the circular PC is isotropic (Xiao and Qiu 2005;Horiuchi et al 2004): comparing the band gap of the triangular and the circular lattice one can notice a certain shrinkage in a specific direction. The symmetry of the circular photonic crystal is also different from the classical photonic crystal, where a rotational symmetry occurs.…”
