Pulse Reshaping in Double-zero-index Photonic Crystals with Dirac-like-cone Dispersion

Abstract Triply-degenerate Dirac-like cone at the Brillouin zone center attracts much research interest in recent years. Whether the linear dispersion in such a Dirac-like cone reflects the same physics to Dirac cones at the Brillouin zone boundaries is still under investigation. In this manuscript,...

description	Abstract Triply-degenerate Dirac-like cone at the Brillouin zone center attracts much research interest in recent years. Whether the linear dispersion in such a Dirac-like cone reflects the same physics to Dirac cones at the Brillouin zone boundaries is still under investigation. In this manuscript, through microwave experiments and numerical simulations, we observe intriguing pulse reshaping phenomena in double-zero-index photonic crystals, which cannot be fully understood from their close-to-zero effective parameters. A reshaped pulse, with frequency components close to the Dirac frequency filtered, is propagating at a constant group velocity while part of these filtered frequencies appears at a much later time.
