Photonic Hypercrystals

Evgenii E. Narimanov

Abstract

We introduce a new "universality class" of artificial optical media-photonic hypercrystals.These hyperbolic metamaterials, with periodic spatial variation of dielectric permittivity on subwavelength scale, combine the features of optical metamaterials and photonic crystals.In particular, surface waves supported by a hypercrystal possess the properties of both the optical Tamm states in photonic crystals and surface-plasmon polaritons at the metal-dielectric interface.
