PHOTONIC CRYSTALS: A MEDIUM EXHIBITING ANOMALOUS CHERENKOV RADIATION

摘要

A system for exhibiting Cherenkov radiation is provided. The system includes a beam of charged particles. A photonic crystal structure receives said beam of charged particles. The charged particles moves in said photonic crystal structure so that Cherenkov radiation is produced at all velocities without requiring resonances in the effective material constants of said photonic crystal structure.
