Silicon Hyperuniform Disordered Photonic Materials with a Pronounced Gap in the Shortwave Infrared
Photonic crystals are metamaterials designed to display a periodic modulation of the refractive index. [ 1,2 ] For light wavelengths that match the Bragg condition, such materials display a photonic gap. For suffi cient refractive index contrast, a complete band gap emerges, the density of states in the gap is zero,transmission vanishes and incident light is specularly refl ected.The concept was initially proposed by Yablonovitch and John 25 years ago. Research in the fi eld initially developed rapidly but has matured over the last decade. Although materials with
complete band gaps have been reported from the infrared to the visible, there still exist many challenges in fabrication and for possible applications. [ 3,4 ] For example only recently threedimensional guiding of photons in photonic crystals has been demonstrated.
