Novel light-emitting devices and micro-optical-circuit elements will rely upon understanding and control of light-matter interaction at the nanoscale. Recent advances in nanofabrication and micro-processing make it possible to develop integrable solid-stat ...
The coupling of a prescribed number of site-controlled pyramidal quantum dots (QDs) with photonic crystal (PhC) cavities was studied by polarization and power-dependent photoluminescence measurements. The energy of the cavity mode could be readily tuned, m ...
We report on the fabrication and optical characterization of a switchable photonic crystal nanocavity actuated by liquid crystals. This device acts as a filter presenting a transmission peak around the telecom wavelength λ = 1550 nm. Passing from the isotr ...
The enhancement of the extraction efficiency in light emitting diodes (LEDs) through the use of photonic crystals (PhCs) requires a structure design that optimizes the interaction of the guided modes with the PhCs. The main optimization parameters are rela ...
Multicast parametric synchronous sampling (MPASS) architecture for real-time processing of optical signals based on parametric processes is reviewed. The processor uses parametric gates to obtain multiple sub-rate outputs. Operating principle and first dem ...
The ubiquitous role of optical fibers in modern photonic systems has stimulated research to realize slow and fast light devices directly in this close-to-perfect transmission line. Recent progress in developing optically-controlled delays in optical fibers ...
