Negative Propagation Effects in Two-Dimensional Silicon Photonic Crystals

Figure 1

Band curves of square lattice for TE polarization. The 2D PhC is made of air holes of radius (where is the lattice constant) drilled in a silicon host substrate with . The light line shifted to M point is shown in black. The red line indicates the frequency range of negative refraction.
