In the past decade, the research field that uses arrays of high-index-contrast near-
wavelength dielectric structures on flat surfaces, known as high-contrast metastructures …

Periodic nanostructures in photonics facilitate a far-reaching control of light propagation and
light–matter interaction. This article reviews the current status of this subject, including both …

The majority of the contributions in this topically edited book stems from the priority program
SPP 1113" Photonische Kristalle" run by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) …

the fact that PhC devices in the nearinfrared regime are inherently very small, with critical
dimensions typically on the order of 300-400 nm. For this reason, PhCs offer the ability to …

We demonstrate a two-dimensional photonic crystal defect laser diode based on a coupled
cavity waveguide. The laser cavity is formed by 40 coupled hexagonal defect microcavities …

The field of photonic crystals has, over the past few years, received dramatically increased
attention. Photonic crystals are artificially engineered structures that exhibit a periodic …

A highly efficient design of a two-channel wavelength demultiplexer in the visible region is
presented with finite-difference time-domain simulations. The design process is described in …

We present a number of designs for the integration of photonic crystals (PC) with active
semiconductor devices. As a first step, the use of PC blocks as laser mirrors is demonstrated …

Low-loss bidimensional photonic crystals have been fabricated by using an optimized
process, consisting of electron beam lithography of a poly (methyl methacrylate) resist …

This work discusses photonic integration efforts toward develo** an InP-based
monolithically integrated photonic chip for optical code-division multiple-access (O-CDMA) …
