TIn this paper, we report the design, the fabrication and the near field optical microscopy of Negative Index Material (NIM) and GRadient INdex (GRIN) photonic crystal based flat lenses. They were fabricated on the basis of an InPbased photonic crystal technological platform including hole and pillar networks fabrication at nanometer scale. They show the possibility of sub-wavelength focusing by all dielectric periodic or quasi-periodic crystals. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of SNOM images using three-dimensional simulations. Finally, in order to demonstrate the versatility of our approach, a two-dimensional cloaking device mixing hole and pillar arrays is evaluated to pave the way for future integrated nanophotonic devices with complex functionalities.
