Abstract
The propagation of electromagnetic (EM) waves in two-dimensional triangular-lattice photonic crystals (PCs) is investigated through dispersion characteristics analysis and numerical simulation of field pattern. The designed PC structure can exhibit all angle negative refraction in the second band. A flat superlens formed from such a PC has been designed and its imaging properties have been investigated systematically. Good-quality images and focusing, with relative refractive index of −1, have been observed in this system for TE mode waves. In contrast to the images in near-field region for the lowest valence band, non-near-field images, explicitly following the well-known wave-beam negative refraction law, have been demonstrated. The relation between the intensity of the image and the object distance has also been discussed in this paper. The extensive applications of such a phenomenon to optical devices are anticipated.
