Photonic crystals consist of artificial periodic structures of dielectrics, which have attracted
much attention because of their wide range of potential applications in the field of optics. We …

The interaction of light with matter strongly depends on the structure of the latter at
wavelength scale. Ordered systems interact with light via collective modes, giving rise to …

Finite‐difference time‐domain (FDTD) simulations of the transmission spectra of planar
small‐footprint photonic components with up to four types of morphological disorder as a …

Here we demonstrate a novel quantitative procedure to pursue statistical studies on the
geometric properties of photonic crystals and photonic quasicrystals (PQCs) which consist of …

The relationship between the particles size distribution of colloidal crystals and the structure
and physical properties of the resulting 2D colloidal crystals is presented in this work. The …

We propose an approach originating from plane wave expansion method to calculate band
structure for two types of honeycomb lattice two-dimensional plasma photonic crystals. The …

A large photonic band gap (PBG) is highly favorable for photonic crystal devices. One of the
most important goals of PBG materials research is identifying structural design strategies for …

The unique electromagnetic response of high-index dielectric resonators with Mie
resonances facilitates the selective enhancement and confinement of light, holding great …

Photonic crystal slabs provide unique opportunities for the manipulation of light on
semiconductor chips. The patterns of holes in the slabs are typically designed to maximize …

We show here that at a certain externally applied static magnetic field of moderate value,
photonic band gap (PBG) is induced at optical frequencies in a stable colloidal dispersion …
