Optical properties of a three-dimensional silicon square spiral photonic crystal
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract We report the fabrication and optical characterization of a tetragonal square spiral photonic crystal with a three-dimensional relative band gap of approximately 10% using the glancing angle deposition (GLAD) technique. This thin film structure is produced in a one-step process that is highly versatile as a wide range of crystal structures can be created simply through the variation of deposition parameters. Measurements indicate upper and lower frequency band edges at vacuum wavelengths of 2.50 and 2.75 μm, in the infrared region of the spectrum.
