摘要
We present a new graded-index photonic crystal (GRIN PhC) structure which can be made by laser interference lithography (LIL). It can be applied as miniaturized focusing lens. Numerical simulations are carried out on the structures with different widths, lengths, and modulations. In the qualitative analysis of the focal length, focusing of a GRIN PhC was proved to originate from both the graded sizes of the rods and multimode interference. Multimode interference dominates the focusing effect when a GRIN PhC has a small length or a small difference in the rod sizes. Intensity distributions in different cases were given to support the conclusion. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
