Partner 32 : FORTH 32-1 Photonic crystals and negative refractive index materials

We review the research of our group on propagation of electromagnetic waves in photonic crystals (PCs) and micrometer scale left-handed materials (LHMs). The main topics that we focus on regarding PCs are the modification of the spontaneous emission rate of sources embedded into them, their ability to produce beams with high directionality and their negative refraction and focusing properties, phenomena originated from the complex PC dispersion properties. Regarding the left-handed materials (LHMs) we present our attempts to fabricate them in micrometer scale.
