title: Woodpile-type photonic crystals with orthorhombic or tetragonal symmetry formed through phase mask techniques.
abstract: This paper simulates the photonic band structure in face-centered-orthorhombic and face-centered-tetragonal woodpile-type photonic crystals and shows the fabrication feasibility of these crystals with phase mask based holographic lithography. The experimental demonstration on SU-8 photoresist indicates that a single optical element can replace a complex optical setup for the holographic fabrication of woodpile-type photonic crystals. Photonic band gap calculation predicts the existence of full band gap in these crystals. Optimum band gap sizes are studied for crystals formed under various experimental conditions.
