Zero-index metamaterials (ZIMs) feature a uniform electromagnetic mode over a large area
in arbitrary shapes, enabling many applications including high-transmission supercouplers …

In this thesis, we presented mainly two applications that utilize two dimensional Silicon
photonic crystals. One application is an optical refractive index based gas/bio-sensor. The …

This study presents a single, self-consistent model based on the rate equations that
accurately estimate the performance parameters for quantum cascade structures for both …
