Optical laue diffraction on photonic structures designed by laser lithography.

Samusev, K.; Rybin, M.; Lukashenko, S.; Limonov, M.

Two-dimensional photonic crystals with square symmetry C were obtained using the laser lithography method. The structure of these samples was studied by scanning electron microscopy. Optical Laue diffraction for monochromatic light was studied experimentally depending on the incidence angle of laser beam and lattice constant. Interpretation of the observed diffraction patterns is given in the framework of the Laue diffraction mechanism for an one-dimensional chain of scattering elements. Red thresholds for different diffraction orders were determined experimentally and theoretically. The results of calculations are in an excellent agreement with experiment.
