Abstract :
We show the existence of simultaneous frequency band gaps for both photons and phonons in a slab of silicon with a periodic arrangement of cylindrical holes perpendicular to the slab surface with different lattice geometries. The advantages and disadvantages of different lattice structures for integration of photonic and phononic crystal functionalities will be discussed.
