Polarized infrared and Raman spectroscopy studies of the liquid crystal <Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis>7 alignment in composites based on grooved silicon

Alignment of liquid-crystal filler molecules and the electro-optical effect in composite photonic crystals based on grooved silicon are studied. It is found that the nematic liquid crystal molecules that fill the grooves are predominantly aligned in a planar configuration with respect to the silicon walls. The liquid crystal molecules are realigned homeotropically with respect to the groove walls under the influence of an electric field. The effect detected can be used to adjust the photonic band gap of a one-dimensional photonic crystal.     

Investigation of the effects of process-induced disorder location on planar photonic crystal waveguide properties

The effects of process-induced disorder location on planar photonic crystal waveguide properties are numerically investigated using three-dimensional finite difference time domain simulation by introducing random fluctuations of the hole radius, size, position, and shape of air-holes of two-dimensional planar photonic crystal slab. Results reveal that bandgap properties are extremely robust with respect to disorder. It is shown that the very first rows of holes play a major role in the amount of disorder-induced optical loss, and that keeping the first two rows of holes unchanged leads to a blue-shift of slow light waveguide properties.

Finite-element method coupled with method of lines for the analysis of planar or quasi-planar transmission lines

A full-wave analysis incorporating the finite-element method (FEM) and the method of lines (MoL) is presented in this paper to investigate a planar or quasi-planar transmission-line structure containing complex geometric/material features. For a transmission-line structure being considered, the regions containing complex media are modeled by the FEM while those consisting of simple media with simple geometry are analyzed using the MoL. From the field solutions calculated by MoL, the boundary conditions are constructed. The boundary integrals involved in finite-element analysis are then carried out using these boundary conditions. Since the finite-element analysis is employed only in the complex parts of the structures, while other parts are handled by the MoL, this approach not only retains the major advantage of the FEM in simulating complex structures but also becomes more efficient than the conventional finite-element analysis. Good agreement between the calculated results and those reported in the available literature is obtained and thus validates the present approach. Furthermore, proficient computational efficiency of this method is demonstrated by examining its convergence property. Finally, a number of relevant transmission-line structures are analyzed to illustrate the applications of this approach.     

Lattice‐Registered Two‐Photon Polymerized Features within Colloidal Photonic Crystals and Their Optical Properties

In this work we demonstrate a significant advance in the introduction of embedded defects in 3D photonic crystals by means of two‐photon polymerization. We have developed the ability to precisely position embedded defects with respect to the lattice of 3D photonic crystals by imaging the structure concurrently with two‐photon writing. Defects are written with near‐perfect lattice registration and at specifically defined depths within the crystal. The effect of precise defect position on the optical response is investigated for embedded planar cavities written in a photonic crystal. The experimental data are compared to spectra calculated using the Scalar Wave Approximation (SWA).

Microfluidic integration of porous photonic crystal nanolasers for chemical sensing

We have recently developed planar photonic crystal nanolasers based on porous cavity designs. High-quality factor cavities confine light within the pores of the photonic crystal and, thus, our lasers are ideally suited for the investigation of nanoscale interactions between light and matter. We have demonstrated the operation of photonic crystal lasers within different chemical solutions, embedded them into silicone microfluidic flow channels, and were able to detect refractive index changes as small as /spl Delta/n=0.005. We predict that our porous nanolasers can detect refractive index changes as small as /spl Delta/n=8.23/spl middot/10/sup -4/.     

Full-wave analysis of traveling-wave electrodes with finitethickness for electro-optic modulators by the method of lines

In order to optimize broadband electrooptic modulators with traveling-wave electrodes, detailed information about the propagation constant, the field distribution, and the wave impedance of the modulating field is needed. To get accurate results for these characteristic values, the numerically efficient method of lines (MoL) is used. The MoL takes advantage of the planar structure by discretizing the wave equation in the directions parallel to the metallization plane, whereas an analytical formulation is retained for the transverse direction. Thus, not only the hybrid character of the modulating field but also the finite conductor thickness and anisotropy of the substrate are taken into account. Results for asymmetric coplanar stripline electrodes with typical dimensions on SiO₂ buffered LiNbO₃ are presented     

Optical studies of a two-dimensional photonic crystal with the InAs/InGaAs quantum-dot structure as an active region

A two-dimensional semiconductor photonic crystal with a hexagonal lattice of submicrometer holes is produced by etching the GaAs/AlGaAs planar structure containing the InAs/InGaAs quantum dots in the waveguide layer. By analyzing the reflectance spectra at variable angles of incidence and polarizations of light, the photonic band structure is determined. The Fano resonance peaks revealed in the reflectance spectra at the TM (TE) polarization along the Γ-K (Γ-M) symmetry direction are due to the resonance interaction of optically active photonic bands with the incident light. The band structure of the radiation leakage modes is investigated by studying the angular dependence of the photoluminescence intensity. A threefold increase in the photoluminescence intensity revealed at the resonance frequency of the photonic crystal is attributed to the Purcell effect.
