我们已经在实验上展示了基于微波尺度二维光子晶体的偏振器和偏振分束器。使用偏振微波在一定的频率范围内，我们已经观察到一个平方正弦（Malus）的传输规律时，使用光子晶体作为偏振器。光子晶体还可以用作偏振分束器;在这种配置中，它可以被设计为以任何顺序和任何方向分离入射偏振，使其比传统的布鲁斯特角分束器更通用。
We have experimentally demonstrated polarizers and polarizing beam splitters based on microwave-scale two-dimensional photonic crystals. Using polarized microwaves within certain frequency bands, we have observed a squared-sinusoid (Malus) transmission law when using the photonic crystal as a polarizer. The photonic crystal also functions as a polarizing beamsplitter; in this configuration it can be engineered to split incident polarizations in either order and in any direction, making it more versatile than conventional, Brewster-angle beamsplitters.
