    摘要: A metallodielectric photonic crystal including a plurality of elements, each having a non-dielectric component, arranged with respect to each other in a three-dimensionally periodic lattice. The non-dielectric components being spatially isolated from one another, the lattice exhibiting a band gap in the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation modes propagating through said lattice. A support structure positions the elements in the three-dimensionally periodic lattice. In an exemplary embodiment, the elements are metallic spheres arranged within dielectric material. The three-dimensionally periodic lattice can include a face-centered-cubic lattice which exhibits a unidirectional photonic band gap, or a diamond lattice which exhibits an omnidirectional photonic band gap. The diamond lattice structure includes a gap width to midgap frequency ratio which can exceed 60%.

    摘要: A light emitting device comprising a substrate and a dielectric structure having at least a two-dimensionally periodic variation of dielectric constant which exhibits a spectrum of electromagnetic modes including guided modes of frequencies below a predetermined frequency cutoff and radiation modes of frequencies above and below said predetermined frequency cutoff, the two-dimensionally periodic variation of dielectric constant of the dielectric structure introducing a band gap between the guided modes. A radiation source, such as a quantum well, is associated with said structure, and generates electromagnetic radiation which couples to the radiation modes resulting in radiation extraction from the structure. The band gap allows the radiation to couple to radiation modes rather than to guided modes resulting in radiation extraction from the structure. The structure can be fabricated such that a radiation reflector is disposed between the structure and the substrate.

    摘要: An input light-coupling device comprising a dielectric layer containing a pattern of dielectric contrast distributed in at least two dimensions. The pattern of dielectric contrast, which may or may not be periodic, is designed to facilitate coupling to the dielectric layer of electromagnetic radiation. The electromagnetic radiation may be propagating within a surrounding medium of lower dielectric constant than that of said dielectric layer, input at directions including normal incidence from which light cannot typically couple to the dielectric layer without the presence of the pattern of dielectric contrast. The input light may constitute an optical signal propagating in an optical fiber or in free space. Light that is in-coupled may be directed in as many directions as dictated by the symmetry of the pattern of dielectric contrast. The dielectric layer may contain output waveguides surrounding the input coupling structure. The light coupling structure may be fabricated in a dielectric layer separated from a high-dielectric substrate by a low-dielectric layer to avoid losses of the input signal to the substrate. A mirror comprising either a reflective material or alternating layers of high and low dielectric material may be disposed between the low-dielectric layer and the substrate to enhance the total input coupling to the dielectric layer containing the input coupling structure.
