Abstract

Photonic crystals are three-dimensional periodic dielectric structures where the propagation of electromagnetic (EM) waves can be forbidden for a certain range of frequencies.1-2 Early attempts to use these structures in applications like thresholdless semiconductor lasers and single-mode light-emitting diodes have suffered from the difficulties associated with fabricating sub-micron features needed to achieve a band gap at optical frequencies. On the other hand, fabricating photonic band gap (PBG) structures at microwave and millimeter-wave scales3 have been more successful, with numerous demonstrations of PBG-based applications like high directivity millimeter wave antennas, high-quality resonators, microwave cavities for accelerators, and efficient microwave reflectors.
