Abstract :
We study scattering processes in deformed honeycomb photonic lattices. For certain deformations, we demonstrate both non-resonant (independent of the defect-width) total-transmission and total-reflection, emphasizing that optical excitations in honeycomb lattices behave as relativistic fermions.
