Abstract
We report a design methodology for creating high-performance photonic crystals with arbitrary geometric shapes. This design approach enables the inclusion of subwavelength shapes into the photonic crystal unit cell, synergistically combining metamaterials concepts with on-chip guided-wave photonics. Accordingly, we use the term "photonic metacrystal" to describe this class of photonic structures. Photonic metacrystals exploiting three different design freedoms are demonstrated experimentally. With these additional degrees of freedom in the design space, photonic metacrystals enable added control of light-matter interactions and hold the promise of significantly increasing temporal confinement in all-dielectric metamaterials.
