Abstract

Optical properties and structural characteristics of quantum photonic crystals—quantytes—are investigated. Quantytes are crystalline structures with periodically arranged quantum dots of dielectrics, ferroelectrics, magnets, or metals. They feature so-called stop bands in which anomalous reflection of electromagnetic radiation from the photonic crystal surface is observed. It is found that quantytes are characterized by a negative refractive index and anomalous deceleration of electromagnetic waves in some spectral ranges. Possible uses of quantytes as devices for recording and reading of optical information, optical elements with negative refraction, selective mirrors, and narrow-band light filters are discussed.
