This paper presents a comprehensive review of the literature and trends on the design of
periodic microstructural composite materials including photonic crystals (PtCs), phononic …

Much attention has been paid to photonic applications based on periodic media. Meanwhile,
quasi-periodic and disordered media have extended the research domain and provided …

A novel concept of polarization beam splitting with high polarization extinction ratio is
proposed based on the polarization sensitive self-collimation feature of symmetry reduced …

In this study, realization and applications of anisotropic zero-refractive-index materials are
proposed by exposing the unit cells of photonic crystals that exhibit Dirac-like cone …

We present the optical properties of a new type of photonic crystal (PC) named star-shaped
PC (STAR-PC) with anomalous equi-frequency contours. Intentionally introducing low …

We investigate dispersive properties of two dimensional photonic crystal (PC) called star-
shaped PC (STAR-PC) in order to succeed super-collimation over a broad bandwidth. Both …

We theoretically demonstrate that electromagnetic waves can self-collimate and propagate
unidirectionally in photonic crystals fabricated using semicylindrical ferrite rods in …

Photon spin has received great interest in recent decades for many applications such as
encoding quantum information and spin-filtering. However, very little is known about …

Polarization is one of the fundamental properties of light and has an important application
value, involving multiple fields, such as imaging, display, quantum computing, and …

We present an intrinsic polarization splitting characteristic of low-symmetric photonic crystals
(PCs) formed by unit-cells with C 2 rotational symmetry. This behavior emerges from the …
