Broadband large-angle self-collimation in two-dimensional silicon photonic crystal

Opt Lett. 2012 Jun 15;37(12):2412-4. doi: 10.1364/OL.37.002412.

Abstract

We report a two-dimensional silicon photonic crystal structure that supports the self-collimation effect with large incident angles over a broad wavelength range. We theoretically and experimentally show the propagation light in the designed and fabricated structure without diffraction. Broadband large-angle self-collimation is observed in infrared wavelength.
