Abstract

Using standard microelectronic techniques, we have fabricated arrays of infrared metallodielectric photonic crystals (IR MDPCs) on silicon substrates. The metallic "atoms" are located on a three-dimensional (100)-oriented face-centered-cubic lattice. Resonant stop-band characteristics have been measured with rejection levels of up to 20 dB and widths of up to 83% of the center frequency. We demonstrate structures with stop bands across the midinfrared wavelength range from 2 to 12 μm. Angular studies of the photonic stop bands show an insensitivity to incident angle for some of the structures. The IR MDPC results are compared with measurements made on microwave-scale MDPC structures to help in understanding the infrared results.
