Fabrication and Microwave Properties of Three‐Dimensional Photonic Crystals With a Diamond Structure Composed of Ceramic Spheres in Resin

Abstract: Three‐dimensional photonic crystals with a diamond structure composed of YSZ (3 mol% Y2O3‐stabilized ZrO2) spheres in a resin matrix were fabricated by using stereolithography. The lattice constant was 12 mm and the diameter of the spheres was 5 mm. These photonic crystals made of ceramic spheres showed complete photonic band gaps at around 12 GHz between the eighth and ninth bands. The propagation characteristics of microwaves agreed well with the calculated results using the plane wave expansion method.

“…Wilson et al [19] pointed out that filling the air gap with conducting paste can nearly alleviate the effect caused by the air gap. The air gaps in this work were filled with room temperature silver paste and the smooth S 21 j j spectrums were obtained as shown in Fig. 4(a) and (b).…”

“…When the dielectric contrast is high enough, a photonic band gap or a stop band can open up where the propagation of microwave or optical wave is inhibited and totally reflected if there is no absorption. Several different types of crystal have been investigated, including face‐centered cubic, 3 woodpiles, 6 and diamond structures 7–13 . Among the various three‐dimensional (3D) crystals, the diamond structure is known to be an ideal candidate with a complete photonic band gap opening in all directions and polarizations.…”

“…Kirihara et al have succeeded in fabricating various three‐dimensional (3D) PhCs using a stereolithographic method based on a CAD/CAM system 24–27 . We have fabricated PhCs by embedding ceramic spheres in photocured resin using stereolithography and succeeded in the formation of wide gaps in higher order frequency modes 28 …”
