Frequency properties of the defect mode inside a photonic crystal band-gap with zero average refractive index

Left-handed metamaterial has been designed based on transmission line technology. A left-handed and a normal materials are studied alternately to form a one-dimensional photonic crystal with an average refractive index of zero but a special band-gap emerges. The two band-edge frequencies of this gap are insensitive to the incident angle and lattice constant. These characteristics can be used in the miniaturization of filters and high-quality coupling. Studies show that we can regulate the mode frequency by controlling the thickness of the defect layer, which can provide a method for the adjusting frequency in applications. The experimental results are consistent with numerical simulation.
