Abstract

The future of optical devices involves manipulation of nanoscale structure. Thus, novel samples that incorporate both photonic crystal (PC) structure and metamaterial properties, known as PC metamaterials, are proposed. First, metamaterials with no PC structure are fabricated as nanorod or nanohelical structures and characterized to extract their optical constants. Then, a computational model for the metamaterial within a PC structure was developed to calculate the photonic bandgap (PBG). These results show that a large PBG with the desired directionality can be achieved with these PC metamaterials.
