2. Photonic crystal fabrication at optical wavelengths
The development of photonic crystals at infrared and visible wavelengths has been a real challenge for micro-nano-technologies, which have in turn benefited greatly from it. Some obstacles have now been overcome, while others are in the process of being. In what follows, we present the main technological solutions that have emerged to date, ranging in order of increasing complexity from two-dimensional to three-dimensional photonic crystals.
2.1 2D photonic crystals in planar optics
The main achievements in two-dimensional photonic crystals for infrared and visible light have been in semiconductor materials (silicon, GaAs, InP...) and silica fibers. This can be explained, on the one hand, by the greater maturity of the technologies associated with these materials...
