In this article, we present an experimental and numerical study of novel optical properties of two-dimensional dielectric photonic crystals (PCs) which exhibit negative refraction. We investigate two mechanisms which utilize the band structure of the PC to generate a negative effective index of refraction (n eff <0) and demonstrate the negative refraction experimentally. To the isotropic extend of n eff , different PC slab structures are employed to focus the radiation of a point source. It is shown experimentally that the PC can generate an image of the source with subwavelength resolution in the vicinity of the PC interface. Using a different PC, one can also obtain a far field focusing. In the latter case, we explicitly show the flat lens behavior of the structure. These examples indicate that PC-based lenses can surpass limitations of conventional lenses and lead to novel optics applications.

Abstract Photonic crystal (PC) not only breaks through the diffraction limit of traditional lenses but also can realize super-resolution imaging. Improving the resolution is the key task of PC imaging. The main work of this paper is to use a graded-index Photonic crystal (GPC) flat lens to improve the image resolution. An air-hole type two-dimensional (2D) GPC structure based on silicon medium is proposed in this paper. Numerical simulations through RSoft reveal that when the medium in the imaging area is air, the full width at half maximum (FWHM) value of a single image reaches 0.362λ. According to the Rayleigh criterion, the images of two point sources 0.57λ apart can also be distinguished. In the imaging system composed of cedar oil and GPC flat lens, the FWHM value of a single image reaches 0.34λ. In addition, the images of multiple point sources 0.49λ apart can still be distinguished.
