Diffractive properties of imaginary-part photonic crystal slab
Abstract:
The diffraction spectra of Imaginary-Part Photonic Crystal (IPPC) slabs are analyzed by using Scattering-Matrix Method. By investigating the thickness dependence of the diffraction, we find the remarkable red shift of central wavelength of diffraction spectrum, which obviously distinguishes from the phenomenon of spectral hole. We observe that diffraction efficiency can be enhanced more than twentyfold by optimizing the geometry parameters. These imply that the diffraction spectra of the IPPC slab can be controlled at will and used to guide the design to achieve useful nanoscale devices.

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...
