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 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 ...
A mathematical approach is presented that is based on coupled-mode theory (CMT); it is extended to infinite perfect photonic structures and combined with the supercell method for analysis of infinite photonic crystals with introduced point (0D) and linear ...
We experimentally investigate the effect of residual disorder on the dispersion curve of light near a band edge. A Fourier space imaging technique accurately distinguishes the propagating regime from evanescent regime in planar photonic crystal. (C) 2009 O ...

We have recently demonstrated an ultrafast photonic crystal laser and cavity coupled laser array with modulation rates of 1THz at room temperature, a 20 GHz optical modulator with activation energies of 60 Q and a quantum dot photonic crystal laser with la ...
The ubiquitous role occupied by optical fibres in modern photonic systems has steadily stimulated research to realize slow and fast light devices directly in this close-to-perfect transmission line. This potentially offers the key advantage of a direct and ...
For the past couple of decades the desire to add more complexity to a computer chip, while simultaneously reducing the cost per bit, has been accommodated by down-scaling. This approach has been extremely successful in the past, but like all good things it ...
Two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystals (PhCs) operating in the near-infrared wavelengths are promising candidates for novel integrated optics applications. In this work the optical properties of the Bloch modes in 2D photonic crystals have been investigate ...
The effect of surface passivation in BCl3/N-2 inductively coupled plasma reactive-ion etching of GaAs-based photonic crystals (PhCs) was investigated. It is shown that sidewall passivation is crucial for achieving cylindrical, vertical PhC holes, where the ...
