Abstract Photonic crystal (PC) not only breaks through the diffraction limit of traditional lenses but also can realize super-resolution imaging. Improving the resolution is the key task of PC imaging. The main work of this paper is to use a graded-index Photonic crystal (GPC) flat lens to improve the image resolution. An air-hole type two-dimensional (2D) GPC structure based on silicon medium is proposed in this paper. Numerical simulations through RSoft reveal that when the medium in the imaging area is air, the full width at half maximum (FWHM) value of a single image reaches 0.362λ. According to the Rayleigh criterion, the images of two point sources 0.57λ apart can also be distinguished. In the imaging system composed of cedar oil and GPC flat lens, the FWHM value of a single image reaches 0.34λ. In addition, the images of multiple point sources 0.49λ apart can still be distinguished.

We present the fabrication, simulation, and measurements of 1D photonic crystal based on nano-porous silicon multilayer designed as an optical interference filter. Using electro-chemical etching with timely repeat steps of applied current densities, we fabricated a multilayer structure composed of alternating high- and low-index layer which achieved 90% power reflectivity at wavelength range of 1400-3000 nm. The simulation is relying on the Transfer Matrix Method (TMM) to design and predict the optical properties of nano-porous silicon multilayer as well as the relation between anodization parameters with reflection spectra. The measured reflection and transmission spectra of the nano-porous silicon multilayer show good agreement with simulation. This technique could provide a convenient and economical method to produce filters, cavities, and graded-index dielectric waveguides in the future.

AbstractWe report for the first time the use of the relatively low index material SiON (n=1.56) for photonic crystal applications. With this system it is possible to enlarge the complete TE-band gap of a 2D-photonic crystal by properly designing the unit cell filling. This may be practically realised because of the larger dimensions of photonic crystals in low index materials, which allows less stringent etch conditions when compared to traditional InP based materials. The optimal distribution of the refractive index is found by placing the displacement field in high or in low dielectric material. The structure is defined by two figures of merit, the width of the band gap and the smallest feature size, which is the key factor in etching the structure. In addition, we suggest the use of a graded-index profile to reduce out of plane scattering. This graded index profile can be realised by controlling the nitrogen flow during deposition of the SiON layer.
