摘要
We propose a III-V semiconductor photonic crystal slab designed to operate as a n = -1 superlens at lambda(0) = 1.55 mu m. The structure consists of air holes arranged in a two-dimensional triangular lattice, of period a, nanopatterned in an InP/InGaAsP/InP slab. Exploiting the second pass-band regime (a/lambda(0)similar to 0.31), subwavelength resolutions as low as 0.38 lambda(0) for planar lenses have been obtained by the insertion of hexagonal nanocavities within the crystal.
