Three-dimensional confinement of light in photonic crystals without bandgaps

We show that point defects in three-dimensional photonic crystals can support confined nanocavity modes without the need for photonic bandgaps, and can therefore provide a method to confine light in an alternative class of structures.

Abstract

We show that point defects in three-dimensional photonic crystals can support confined nanocavity modes without the need for photonic bandgaps, and can therefore provide a method to confine light in an alternative class of structures.
