Abstract

Photonic hypercrystals are a novel type of metamaterial combining the properties of photonic crystals and hyperbolic metamaterials. The transmission of transverse magnetic polarized light through photonic hypercrystal is studied. Along with the conventional gaps, the angular incidence of such radiation at the plasmon frequency of the perpendicular component of permittivity tensor of hyperbolic metamaterials gives rise to the appearance of the unconventional plasmon-polariton gap. Some properties of this gap and the associated phenomenon of optical bistability at the edge of this gap are explored.
