Superprism effect in opal-based photonic crystals
This paper investigates the superprism effect in opal-based three-dimensional photonic crystals which consist of an face-centered cubic ~fcc! array of close-packed dielectric spheres embedded in a host. The light propagation angle inside the opals is determined by the group velocity vector of the bulk eigenmodes having the strongest coupling with the incident light at the boundary of the opal. ...
متن کاملWaveguides in inverted opal photonic crystals.
Waveguiding phenomena are investigated in an inverted opal photonic crystal made of interpenetrating air spheres, coated with amorphous Ge. Here we focus on the complete gap between the 8th and the 9th band, since a projected band analysis reveals that it is difficult to use the large lower incomplete gap for guiding purposes. Two kinds of line defects are analyzed within this photonic structur...
متن کاملFragility of photonic band gaps in inverse-opal photonic crystals
Inverse-opal techniques provide a promising routine of fabricating photonic crystals with a full band gap in the visible and infrared regimes. Numerical simulations of band structures of such systems by means of a supercell technique demonstrate that this band gap is extremely fragile to the nonuniformity in crystals. In the presence of disorder such as variations in the radii of air spheres an...
متن کاملAnomalous coherent backscattering of light from opal photonic crystals.
We studied coherent backscattering (CBS) of light from opal photonic crystals with incomplete band gaps. We observed a dramatic broadening of the CBS cone for incident angles close to the Bragg condition in the crystals. We modify the conventional CBS theory to incorporate Bragg attenuation resulting from the photonic band structure. By fitting the CBS data with the modified theory, we extract ...
متن کاملConformally Back-Filled, Non-close-packed Inverse-Opal Photonic Crystals
Photonic crystals (PCs) offer far greater control over the generation and propagation of light than any other material structures. Their defining characteristics, omnidirectional and directional photonic bandgaps (PBGs), can be manipulated to enable effects such as low losses in optical circuits and control of spontaneous emission. PCs are also creating much excitement because of their ability ...
