Submicron scale structures with high index contrast are key to compact structures for
realizing photonic integrated structures. Ultra-compact optical devices in silicon-on-insulator …

We report the design and testing of an SOI-based photonic integrated circuit containing two-
dimensional membrane-type photonic crystal waveguides. The circuit comprises spot-size …

Nanotechnology, science, and engineering spearhead the 21st century revolution that is
leading to fundamental breakthroughs in the way materials, devices, and systems are …

A multiplexer-demultiplexer (MUX-DEMUX) based on PC waveguide couplers is proposed,
and its wavelength demultiplexing properties are theoretically investigated. First, a two …

We prove that an adiabatic theorem generally holds for slow tapers in photonic crystals and
other strongly grated waveguides with arbitrary index modulation, exactly as in conventional …

The discovery of photonic crystal (PhC) has realized human's dreams of manipulating and
controlling photons. More and more researchers show great interests in the properties and …

We present experimental results on supercontinuum generation in a highly birefringent
microstructured fiber. We show that such a fiber offers clear advantages for continuum …

We fabricated a low loss elliptical intersection of Si photonic wire waveguides on a silicon-
on-insulator substrate. An insertion loss of less than 0.1 dB was achieved at a wavelength of …

In this work, we use multiple scattering in conjunction with a genetic algorithm to reliably
determine the optimized photonic-crystal-based structure able to perform a specific optical …

We design and fabricate a new taper structure for adiabatic mode transformation in two-
dimensional photonic-crystal waveguides patterned into a GaInAsP confining layer. The …
