Abstract
Using detailed numerical simulations, and theoretical modeling, we predict a new super-collimation operation regime which is very sensitive on frequency. This operation regime is predicted to exist in 2D photonic crystals of dielectric rods in low index media. We explain the physical origin of this operation regime, as well as discuss how it could be of interest for implementation of low-power non-linear devices, novel sensors, as well as low-threshold lasers.
