Wave Properties

Fabrication and terahertz wave properties of alumina micro photonic crystals with a diamond structure were investigated. The three-dimensional diamond structure was designed on a computer using 3D-CAD software. Acrylic diamond structures with alumina particles dispersion were formed by using micro-stereolithography. Fabricated precursors were dewaxed and sintered in the air. The electromagnetic wave properties were measured by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. A complete photonic band gap was observed at the frequency range from 0.40 to 0.47 THz, and showed good agreement with the simulation results calculated by the plane wave expansion method. Moreover, a localized mode was obtained by introducing a plane defect between twinned diamond structures. The one-way transmission of the electromagnetic wave was realized by using this twinned photonic crystal with the graded diamond structure. They corresponded to the simulation by the transmission line modeling (TLM) method.

Wave Properties

Fabrication and terahertz wave properties of alumina microphotonic crystals with a diamond structure were investigated. The three-dimensional diamond structure was designed on a computer using 3D-CAD software. The designed lattice constant was 500 μm. The structure consisted of 8 × 8 × 4 unit cells. Acrylic diamond structures with an alumina dispersion of 40 vol% were formed by using microstereolithography. Fabricated precursors were dewaxed at 600 °C and sintered at 1500 °C. The linear shrinkage ratio was about 25%. The relative density reached 97.5%. The electromagnetic wave properties were measured by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. A complete photonic band gap was observed at the frequency range from 0.40 THz to 0.47 THz, and showed good agreement with the simulation results calculated by the plane wave expansion method. Moreover, localized modes were obtained at the frequencies 0.42 THz and 0.46 THz by introducing an air defect in the diamond structure. They corresponded to the simulation by the transmission line modeling method.

Three-dimensional photonic crystals with a diamond structure, which are composed of the TiO2-based ceramic particles dispersed in an epoxy lattice, were fabricated by stereolithography. The diamond structure showed a photonic band gap in the 14.3–17.0 GHz range along the Γ-K 〈110〉 direction, which is close to the band calculation using the plain wave expansion method. Two types of lattice defects—air cavity and dielectric cavity—were introduced into the diamond structure by removing a unit cell of diamond structure or inserting a block of the lattice medium into the air cavity. The transmission of millimeter waves affected by multiple reflections at the defects was measured in the photonic band gap. Resonant frequencies in the defects were calculated and compared with the measurement results.
