Abstract :
A new designer dielectric metamaterial featuring an isotropic photonic bandgap at 1550 nm wavelength designed as a finite thickness, 220 nm thick 2d slab, is fabricated in a CMOS-compatible silicon-on-insulator process. This “hyperuniform disordered solid” (HUDS) is neither crystalline nor quasicrystalline.
