Gap deformation and classical wave localization in disordered two-dimensional photonic-band-gap materials
Gap deformation and classical wave localization in disordered two-dimensional photonic-band-gap materials
By using two ab initio numerical methods, we study the effects that disorder has on the spectral gaps and on wave localization in two-dimensional photonic-band-gap materials. We find that there are basically two different responses depending on the lattice realization (solid dielectric cylinders in air or vice versa), the wave …
