Nondiffracting Kagome Lattice

Boguslawski Martin, Rose Patrick, Denz Cornelia

Zusammenfassung

We introduce a generalized approach to generate an elementary nondiffracting beam, whosetransverse intensity is distributed corresponding to a two-dimensional kagome structure.Furthermore, we present an effective experimental implementation via a computer controlled phasecontrolling spatial light modulator in combination with a specific Fourier filter system. Intensity andphase analysis of the kagome lattice beam accounts for an experimental wave field implementation.Altogether, the examined wave field may be a fundament for the fabrication of largetwo-dimensional photonic crystals or photonic lattices in kagome symmetry using miscellaneousholographic matter structuring techniques.
