Description

We study theoretically the simultaneous existence of phononic and photonic band gaps in a periodic array of silicon pillars deposited on a homogeneous thin silica plate. Several lattices, namely, square, triangular, and honeycomb are investigated for a wide range of geometrical parameters. We discuss the most suitable cases for dual phononic-photonic band gaps, especially in comparison to the more conventional structures constituted by a periodic array of holes in a membrane.
