We demonstrate a two-dimensional photonic hypercrystal that shows enhanced spontaneous emission from its metamaterial component and light extraction through its photonic crystal property. Spontaneous decay rate is enhanced by a factor of 19.5 and light extraction from the HMM is enhanced by a factor of ~100.
