Difference between penetration and damping lengths in photonic crystal mirrors
C. Sauvan, J. P. Hugonin, and P. Lalanne
Different mirror geometries in two-dimensional photonic crystal slabs are studied with fully vectorial calculations. We compare their optical properties and, in particular, we show that, for heterostructure mirrors, the penetration length associated with the delay induced by distributed reflection i … [Appl. Phys.
