Abstract
A rigorous theory for solving general 3-D photonic crystal refraction problem is developed. The power flow direction and transmission intensity of each mode refracted at a periodic surface are rigorously analyzed and determined from matrix equations. We further illustrate how to apply our method to design a low-index-contrast 3-D superprism structure that exhibits efficient transmission over a wide angular scanning range at wavelengths near 1550 nm.Keywords
