Determination of Refractive Indices of Photonic Crystals: Theory and Experiments
ORAL
Abstract
We develop a method to calculate the refractive indices of photonic crystal based on plane wave expansion. The appearance of surface waves and subwavelength imaging is explained within this frame. Numerical simulations of 1D and 2D crystals are performed to support our theory. Comparisons are presented with experimental results on microwave photonic crystals.
