A new face-centered-cubic photonic crystal for microwave and millimeter-wave applications
Three-dimensional photonic crystals are fabricated that consist of a face-centered-cubic lattice of air atoms embedded in a synthetic dielectric matrix. The crystals are formed by stacking triangular arrays of cylindrical atoms in a close-packed arrangement. The fabrication technique is much simpler than previous methods and is well suited to producing photonic band gaps in the microwave and millimeter-wave regions. Microwave measurements provide strong evidence for a photonic band gap between approximately 17 and 18 GHz in a crystal having a volumetric air fraction of 60%. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc
