Abstract :
We present experimental observations of self-collimation effect in photonic crystal superlattices consisting of photonics crystal region and homogeneous media. The high-resolution near-field scanning optical microscopy is supported by precise nanofabrication, and rigorous 3D-FDTD simulations.
