Abstract

Three‐dimensional photonic crystals are fabricated that consist of a face‐centered‐cubic lattice of air atoms embedded in a synthetic dielectric matrix. The crystals are formed by stacking triangular arrays of cylindrical atoms in a close‐packed arrangement. The fabrication technique is much simpler than previous methods and is well suited to producing photonic band gaps in the microwave and millimeter‐wave regions. Microwave measurements provide strong evidence for a photonic band gap between approximately 17 and 18 GHz in a crystal having a volumetric air fraction of 60%. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
