Three-dimensional metallodielectric photonic crystals incorporating flat metal elements

Closely Coupled Metallodielectric Electromagnetic Band-Gap Structures Formed by Double-Layer Dipole and Tripole Arrays

“…They have emerged as a direct analog to photonic band-gap (PBG) materials used in the optical regime [1], [2], and have been investigated extensively in recent years with regard to applications in the microwave frequency range [3]. EBG materials composed of periodic metallic elements have been studied [4]- [8] as an alternative to photonic crystals formed by inhomogeneities in a dielectric host medium. Resonant periodic arrays of metallic dipoles and tripoles on low loss dielectric substrate have been recently investigated as EBG filters for microstrip patch antennas and printed circuit applications [9].…”

Spectral Properties of Thin-Film Photonic Crystals

“…The three-dimensional case is the most difficult in every respect, including experiments, fabrication, theoretical analysis, and computations. In spite of all challenges, there has been a considerable amount of publications in recent years covering a wide range of activities: from new ideas in fabrication of the crystals and new ways to employ their properties in optical devices [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [9], [10], [17], [18], [19], [21], [22], [25], [27], [31], [37], [40], [41], [42], [43], [44], [46] to theoretical and computational studies allowing accurate computation of the properties of photonic crystals [8], [30], [28], [29], [38], [39], [45].…”

Propagation of light in complex photonic lattices with saturable nonlinearity

“…Još jedna mogućnost jeste ubacivanje izuzetno tankih metalnih žica u dielektrični fotonski kristal, čime se menja zonski spektar strukture. Pokazuje se da se upotrebom tankih metalnih žica unutar dielektričnog fotonskog kristala mogu kreirati podesive zabranjene zone, što nalazi veliku primenu u poboljšavanju performansi već postojećih optičkih uređaja [52]. Superprizme [53], senzori za gas [54], pojava negativne refrakcije [55] i fenomeni tunelovanja [56], samo su neke oblasti u kojima su fotonski kristali našli primenu.…”
