Effects of Random Link Removal on the Photonic Band Gaps of Honeycomb Networks
Marian Florescu, Salvatore Torquato, Paul J. Steinhardt
We explore the effects of random link removal on the photonic band gaps of honeycomb networks. Missing or incomplete links are expected to be common in practical realizations of th…
Complete Band Gaps in 2D Photonic Quasicrystals
Marian Florescu, Salvatore Torquato, Paul J. Steinhardt
We introduce a novel optimization method to design the first examples of photonic quasicrystals with substantial, complete photonic band gaps (PBGs): that is, a range of frequencie…
Designer disordered materials with large complete photonic band gaps
Marian Florescu, Salvatore Torquato, Paul J. Steinhardt
We present designs of 2D isotropic, disordered photonic materials of arbitrary size with complete band gaps blocking all directions and polarizations. The designs with the largest…
