Abstract
We report dual optical and acoustic negative refraction based on a defect-free phoxonic crystal within a triangular lattice. The phoxonic negative refraction is achieved based on abnormal dispersion effect, by intentionally creating convex equal-frequency contours for both photonic and phononic modes. As a potential application, negative refraction imaging for both photonic and phononic modes is also achieved. Numerical simulations based on the finite element method demonstrate the coexistence of negative refraction and the resultant imaging for electromagnetic and acoustic waves. Compared with the defect-based bandgap effects that need low fault tolerance, phoxonic negative refraction relying on passbands has considerable advantages in realizing controllable propagation of waves. The new scheme for the simultaneous control of electromagnetic and acoustic waves provides a potential platform for designing novel phoxonic devices.
