Effect of extinction on the high-energy optical response of photonic crystals

Abstract: An analysis of the optical response of photonic crystals in the high-order band energy range is herein presented. High and abruptly fluctuating specular reflectance is predicted for perfect lattices at those energies even in the absence of any photonic gap or pseudogap. As optical extinction is gradually introduced, it is possible to reproduce experimental results found in the literature and which have recently been the subject of an intense debate. Band structure calculations demonstrate that extinction is ex… Show more

“…The presence of such imperfections largely affects the optical properties of these lattices. 5,6 Although the effect of having different types of intrinsic defects has been studied in some detail both theoretically 7,8 and experimentally, [9][10][11][12][13] no strict correlation between the growth dynamics of colloidal crystal films and the presence of imperfections has been established up to date. This is mainly due to the lack of a model describing the colloidal crystal film formation.…”

“…Electromagnetic interactions between the scatterers arranged in the periodic lattice are calculated by means of the layer-multiple-scattering method for spherical scatterers, usually known as the vector version of the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (KKR) method [5][6][7]. Recently, reflectance spectra simulated by adding extinction to the vector KKR method, have shown a clear correlation with the experimental results in the high energy range [8,9].…”

“…Nevertheless, these high-frequency photonic bands allow little control over v g and are not spectrally isolated from other bands. These drawbacks and the increased sensitivity to fabrication errors (Dorado et al, 2007), limit the practical value of this approach. iii.…”
