We demonstrate an isotropic phase matching in properly designed nonlinear two-dimensional photonic crystals. In addition, by combining left- and right-handed properties at the fundamental and second-harmonic frequencies, we obtain a backward second-harmonic generation. These two properties lead to an unusual second-harmonic localization effect in perfect lattice photonic crystals.
