Photonic crystal and its fabrication

摘要

A photonic crystal comprises a plurality of elongated elements formed of a first dielectric material and arranged in a two-dimensional periodic honeycomb lattice. A second dielectric material surrounds the elongated elements and extending between them. The second dielectric material defines between the elongated elements a plurality of spaces filled with a third dielectric material. The first dielectric material has permittivity that is greater than permittivity of the second dielectric material and permittivity of the third dielectric material.
