Abstract :
In this paper, we study the feasibility and suitability of two beam focusing techniques, i.e., Brillouin-and immersed flow, to be used in a novel device which can be up-scaled in power via increasing the number of beams, and in frequency via reducing the spatial period of the photonic crystal.
