摘要
Negative refraction of light was observed at near-infrared wavelengths in a silicon-on-insulator photonic-crystal-slab superprism having low-loss interface structures. It was used for wavelength demultiplexing as a diffraction grating, in combination with a photonic-crystal superlens used for focusing light beams. Coarse wavelength demultiplexing action with a channel spacing of 7-27 nm was demonstrated in a device whose size was only 80x100 mu m(2) (excluding input and output waveguides). These results agree well with those obtained by a finite-difference time-domain simulation. (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.
