Angular photonic band gap

Angular photonic band gap

We present detailed numerical simulations of a class of material systems that strongly discriminate light based primarily on the angle of incidence, over a broad range of frequencies, and independent of the polarization. Unique properties of these systems emerge from exploring photonic crystals whos...

Description
Summary:We present detailed numerical simulations of a class of material systems that strongly discriminate light based primarily on the angle of incidence, over a broad range of frequencies, and independent of the polarization. Unique properties of these systems emerge from exploring photonic crystals whose constituents have an anisotropic dielectric response.
