We analyze in depth the eigenmodes symmetry of the vectorial electromagnetic wave equation with discrete symmetry, using a recently developed maximal symmetrization and reduction scheme leading to an automatic technique which decomposes every mode into its ...
We investigate an air-slot photonic crystal cavity for high-precision refractive index sensing. The high quality factor ∼2:6 × 10^4 of the cavity, along with a strong overlap between the resonant mode and the hollow core region, allows us to achieve an exp ...
Photonic crystals are stuctures in which the refractive index varies periodically on the wavelength scale in one, two or three dimensions. Due to interference effects, these structures can forbid light propagation over a large spectral range called "the ph ...
It has been theoretically predicted and experimentally shown that circular coaxial aperture arrays have higher transmissivities with respect to simple circular ones. This observation is mainly attributed to the propagating waveguide modes supported by the ...
Extraordinary light transmission effect through Fabry-Perot cavities in 3D plasmonic cystals consisting of two physically separated metallic nanohole and nanodisk array layers is demonstrated. These cavity resonances are highly sensitive to refractive inde ...
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 ...
We report a novel nanoprocess to fabricate 2D metallic and non-metallic nanophotonic crystals on SU-8 using hot embossing combining with a UV-curing process. The fabricated photonic crystals were characterized by optical diffraction experiments. Theoretica ...
We present three different techniques to fabricate embedded photonic crystals in GaN-based structures by metal organic chemical vapor deposition, geared toward high efficiency and high directionality light emitting diodes. Compared to the usual lateral epi ...
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 present a theoretical framework allowing to properly address the nature of surfacelike eigenmodes in a hypersonic surface phononic crystal, a composite structure made of periodic metal stripes of nanometer size and periodicity of 1 mu m, deposited over ...
