Abstract :
The paper presents a numerical and experimental study of focussing by the negative-index effect in two-dimensional photonic crystals in a high-index-contrast slab waveguide. The simulations and experiments are carried out at 21.5 GHz in a Rogers TMM10-(thermoset ceramic loaded plastic) teflon material system. It has about the same index contrast as the Si-SiO2 material system which is used for photonic integrated circuits at 1550 nm (193 THz) wavelength. The Si-SiO2 material system is represented by the TMM10-teflon system by scaling the dimensions with a factor of 104
