| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Though the existence of peculiar type of electronic states named “critical states” has been theoretically predicted in quasicrystals (QCs), it has never been demonstrated clearly. The first purpose of this study is to demonstrate the existence of the critical states in a photonic system, using “photonic QCs”. Here, we have successfully shown the formation of photonic critical states by investigating system-size dependence of “participation” using an FDTD electromagnetic-field simulation.
Researches are in progress, aiming at the development of minute light-controlling devices and furthermore photonic integrated circuits utilizing the light-confining effect by photonic bandgaps (PBG) of photonic crystals. The second purpose of this study is to develop photonic crystals that exhibit a larger PBG than conventional photonic crystals utilizing the peculiar structural order of QCs. It is shown that photonic QCs are advantageous in the formation of PBG in a low refractive-index region.
