We review the simulation work for the far-field focus and dispersionless anticrossing bands in two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystals. In a two-dimensional photonic-crystal-based concave lens, the far-field focus of a plane wave is given by the distance between the focusing point and the lens. Strong and good-quality far-field focusing of a transmitted wave, explicitly following the well-known wave-beam negative refraction law, can be achieved. The spatial frequency information of the Bloch mode in multiple Brillouin zones (BZs) is investigated in order to indicate the wave propagation in two different regions. When considering the photonic transmission in a 2D photonic crystal composed of a negative phase-velocity medium (NPVM), it is shown that the dispersionless anticrossing bands are generated by the couplings among the localized surface polaritons of the NPVM rods. The photonic band structures of the NPVM photonic crystals are characterized by a topographical continuous dispersion relationship accompanied by many anticrossing bands.

In this article, we present an experimental and numerical study of novel optical properties of two-dimensional dielectric photonic crystals (PCs) which exhibit negative refraction. We investigate two mechanisms which utilize the band structure of the PC to generate a negative effective index of refraction (n eff <0) and demonstrate the negative refraction experimentally. To the isotropic extend of n eff , different PC slab structures are employed to focus the radiation of a point source. It is shown experimentally that the PC can generate an image of the source with subwavelength resolution in the vicinity of the PC interface. Using a different PC, one can also obtain a far field focusing. In the latter case, we explicitly show the flat lens behavior of the structure. These examples indicate that PC-based lenses can surpass limitations of conventional lenses and lead to novel optics applications.

In this research, a triangular two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal (PC) was hypothetically introduced into the active layer of a PbS quantum dots (QDs) electroluminescent (EL) device. The attributes of the photonic band gap effect and diffraction effect were considered and evaluated for device performance improvement. We designed and optimized the 2D-PC structure parameters to enhance the emission intensity at wavelength 1124 nm. The optimal structure parameter of PC is determined by normalized radius of r/a=0.49 and lattice constant of a=540 nm when the thickness of PC slab h is 74 nm. The 3D stimulation view of light propagation validates and supports the proposed strategy. The results provide a theoretical prediction for ideal PbS QDs-based EL device.
