Accessing new avenues of photonic bandgaps using two-dimensional non-Moire geometries.

ABSTRACT: Photonic crystals (PhC) formed by 2-D non-Moiré geometries are realized in this work. Non-Moiré (NM) tiles are the contours of trigonometric functions that generate exciting shapes and geometries. Photonic bandstructure calculations reveal that 2-D NM geometries exhibit new avenues of photonic bandgaps compared to the regular circular rod-based PhCs. The band structures are anisotropic and show, intriguing orientation-dependent partial bandgaps. A few of the orientation-dependent frequency selective properties of the realized NM geometry-based PhCs are demonstrated using full-wave electromagnetic simulations. The proposed geometries are practically realizable, and in this work, we experimentally demonstrate the fabrication process using the 3-D printing technique for microwave frequencies.
