Fig. 2. Simulated and experimentally measured angle-resolved transmittance spectra.

Fig. 2

a Unit cell of the photonic crystal slab without in-plane inversion symmetry. Triangular air holes are etched in the Si3N4 layer. b, c Simulated and measured angle-resolved transmittance spectra in the visible range under σ+-polarized incidence. The incidence plane is along the Γ-X direction. Diminished regions indicated by blue arrows imply the existence of circularly polarized states after breaking the in-plane inversion symmetry. d Unit cell of photonic crystal slabs with in-plane inversion symmetry. Circular air holes are etched in the Si3N4 layer. e, f Simulated and measured angle-resolved transmittance spectra in the visible range under σ+-polarized incidence. The spectra are symmetric for the PhC slab with in-plane inversion symmetry
