We show that it is possible to construct foam-based heterostructures with complete photonic band gaps. Three-dimensional foams are promising candidates for the self-organization of large photonic networks with combinations of physical characteristics that may be useful for applications. The largest band gap found is based on 3D Weaire–Phelan foam, a structure that was originally introduced as a solution to the Kelvin problem of finding the 3D tessellation composed of equal-volume cells that has the least surface area. The photonic band gap has a maximal size of 16.9% (at a volume fraction of 21.6% for a dielectric contrast ε=13) and a high degree of isotropy, properties that are advantageous in designing photonic waveguides and circuits. We also present results for 2 other foam-based heterostructures based on Kelvin and C15 foams that have somewhat smaller but still significant band gaps.

The band gaps of the two-dimensional photonic crystals, created by inhomogeneous triangular photonic crystal of variable central hexagonal holes are derived. The structure is made of air holes in GaAs. We present the best absolute photonic band gap for this structure by changing the holes’ radii. The photonic band gaps are calculated by the plane wave expansion method. The results indicate 95% overlap in the band gaps of both polarizations of TE and TM in triangular lattice.

ABSTRACTA level set approach was used to study photonic band gaps for dielectric composites with symmetries of the eleven face centered cubic lattices. Candidate structures were modeled for each group by a 3D surface given by f(x,y,z)-t=0 obtained by equating f to an appropriate sum of structure factor terms. This approach allows us to easily map different structures and gives us an insight into the effects of symmetry, connectivity and genus on photonic band gaps. It is seen that a basic set of symmetries defines the essential band gap and connectivity. The remaining symmetry elements modify the band gap. The eleven lattices are classified into four fundamental topologies on the basis of the occupancy of high symmetry Wyckoff sites. Of the fundamental topologies studied, three display band gaps--- including two: the (F-RD) and a group 216 structure that have not been reported previously.

To avoid the effect of the error of dielectric volume fraction brought by fabricating process on band gap, the diamond crystals with different the error of dielectric volume fraction were designed and fabricated to investigate the fluctuation of band gaps. Theses photonic crystals with a diamond structure were fabricated using alumina by stereolithography, gel-casting and sintering. The photonic band gaps were observed along <100> direction and the photonic band gaps were formed in different frequency range. Increasing the radius from 4.2mm to 4.32mm and changing band width from 0.8 to 1.39GHz, the radius is increased by 2.86%, and corresponding band width increased by 73.75%. Therefore, the fabrication error in mold and fabrication process including injecting mold, sintering should be maintained under the same conditions, which can retain the error of band gap.

The study of twisted bilayer 2D materials has revealed many interesting physics properties. A twisted moiré photonic crystal is an optical analog of twisted bilayer 2D materials. The optical properties in twisted photonic crystals have not yet been fully elucidated. In this paper, we generate 2D twisted moiré photonic crystals without physical rotation and simulate their photonic band gaps in photonic crystals formed at different twisted angles, different gradient levels, and different dielectric filling factors. At certain gradient levels, interface modes appear within the photonic band gap. The simulation reveals “tic tac toe”-like and “traffic circle”-like modes as well as ring resonance modes. These interesting discoveries in 2D twisted moiré photonic crystal may lead toward its application in integrated photonics.
