چکیده
During the last decades, researchers of different scientific areas have investigated several systems and materials to suggest new ways transporting localizing light. These problems are probably main goals in any search for configurations emerging properties, independently degree complexity suggested methods. Fortunately, fabrication techniques photonics consolidated during allowing experimental implementation theoretical ideas which were neither tested nor validated. Specifically, we will focus on recent advances Flat Band (FB) photonic systems. FB periodical structures at least two bands their linear spectrum, with one them completely flat. This implies emergence states localized space that can be located regions across lattice. localization occurs as a result destructive interference, what naturally depends particular lattice geometry. In addition, flat band also posses dispersive make possible observation ballistic transport well. Therefore, lattices constitute an unique platform studying transport, without requiring inclusion sophisticated interaction/effect, rather smart simple

Influence of optical Kerr coefficient on photonic band structures of hexagonal-lattice function photonic crystals
In this paper, we have studied the photonic band structure of function photonic crystals in which the dielectric constant of the scattering centers (rods) is a function of space coordinates. The under-studied lattice is hexagonal and cross section of rods has a circular symmetry embedded in the air background. Photonic band structures for both electric and magnetic polarizations of the electrom...
متن کاملPhotonic band structure computations.
We introduce a novel algorithm for band structure computations based on multigrid methods. In addition, we demonstrate how the results of these band structure calculations may be used to compute group velocities and effective photon masses. The results are of direct relevance to studies of pulse propagation in such materials.
متن کاملSystematic design of flat band slow light in photonic crystal waveguides.
We present a systematic procedure for designing "flat bands" of photonic crystal waveguides for slow light propagation. The procedure aims to maximize the group index - bandwidth product by changing the position of the first two rows of holes of W1 line defect photonic crystal waveguides. A nearly constant group index - bandwidth product is achieved for group indices of 30-90 and as an example,...
متن کاملObservation of a Localized Flat-Band State in a Photonic Lieb Lattice.
We demonstrate the first experimental realization of a dispersionless state, in a photonic Lieb lattice formed by an array of optical waveguides. This engineered lattice supports three energy bands, including a perfectly flat middle band with an infinite effective mass. We analyze, both experimentally and theoretically, the evolution of well-prepared flat-band states, and show their remarkable ...
متن کاملNumerical investigation of the flat band Bloch modes in a 2D photonic crystal with Dirac cones.
A numerical method combining complex-k band calculations and absorbing boundary conditions for Bloch waves is presented. We use this method to study photonic crystals with Dirac cones. We demonstrate that the photonic crystal behaves as a zero-index medium when excited at normal incidence, but that the zero-index behavior is lost at oblique incidence due to excitation of modes on the flat band....
