Optical Imaging and Display by Using Two Dimensional Photonic Crystals Slab

Abstract:

We numerically investigate the imaging properties of the two dimensional square photonic crystal. It is found that the dependence of the image-to-interface distance on the object-to-interface distance is almost linear. We can manipulate the near field location of the image through the object-to-interface distance. When the object is located 1μm away from the interface, the image locates at the output interface which can be used to realize the near field optical display.
