We present practical and theoretical, stage-by-stage analysis of light propagation around a 90degrees corner in a two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguide. Using a series of different samples we quantify the coupling efficiency between the conventional r ...
We present the design and analysis of a tunable resonant optical filter based on modulation of the near-field coupling between two subwavelength periodic nanostructures embedded in a Fabry-Pérot cavity. Due to the transverse localization of the optical fie ...
In this paper we describe the fabrication of a two-dimensional photonic band gap structure by focused electron beam induced deposition. Structure geometry is computed in order to create a light-trapping effect at 632 nm wavelength. Deposits produced using ...
In this paper, the authors introduce multibit all-optical memory devices in nanostructured photonic-crystal circuits using only intrinsic nonresonant optical nonlinearities of semiconductors. Introduced devices can record incoming pulses at speeds of 10 Gb ...
A stage-by-stage analysis of light propagation around a 90° corner in a two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguide was discussed. The coupling efficiency between the conventional ridge waveguide and the photonic crystal waveguide was quantified using a ser ...
In recent years, optical gas detectors based on a tunable diode laser absorption spectrometer has become more and more important for monitoring trace gases in atmospheric, medical, and industrial processes. In the medical field, blood gases, essentially pO ...
We report waveguide-enhanced X-ray experiments on thin macromolecular films, such as spin-coated polymer films, self-assembled polyelectrolyte layers, and lipid membranes, prepared on solid surfaces. Upon the deposition of an additional thin inorganic (met ...
We study the interaction of a mode propagating in a planar waveguide with a three dimensional rectangular defect (protrusion or notch) in the structure. The scattering by the defect disturbes the propagation of the mode and light is coupled out of the wave ...
This paper reports on a novel, simple yet reliable, unbalanced SOI Mach-Zehnder (M-Z) interferometer architecture based on 1.2 μm CMOS process and adapted post-processing for the waveguide sidewalls. The fabricated electro-optical device is based on multip ...
The internal reflection of an excited X-ray waveguide mode in a synthetic nanostructure, defined by electron-beam lithography, has been measured. In this device, the X-ray beam is first coupled into a conventional vertical thin-film waveguide structure and ...
