A comprehensive review considering recent advances in self‐collimation and its
applications in optical integration is covered in the current article. Self‐collimation is …

An efficient backbone is introduced for optical integrated circuits at Mid-IR region using PbTe
(n PbTe∼ 6) as the background material in a hole-type 2D square lattice photonic crystal in …

A comprehensive study has been performed to achieve all-angle self-collimation in basic
two-dimensional square array photonic crystals with cylindrical scatterers. Based on plane …

The highly transparent micro-grating structures (MGSs) of sapphire substrate with large
diffuse light scattering were theoretically and experimentally studied. From the finite …

In this work, the self-collimating phenomenon in two-dimensional rhombic-lattice photonic
crystals is discussed in detail. The equi-frequency contours of a rhombic-lattice rod-type …

We study theoretically and experimentally the hemi-urchin shaped zinc oxide (ZnO)
nanostructures for broadband and wide-angle antireflection coatings. The antireflective …

Many modern optical instruments require the use of high-quality antireflecting coatings.
Singleand multilayer homogeneous films are mainly used for this purpose. However, an …

A broadband thin-film antireflective coating (ARC)—a regular array of nanopores in a
dielectric substrate—is studied theoretically and experimentally. Tuning the geometrical …

A highly efficient polarization beam splitter based on self-collimation phenomenon in 2D
square array of air holes in Si background is presented. For the presented structural …

We present what we believe to be a novel high-efficiency photonic crystal polarization beam
splitter that consists of a polarizing photonic crystal slab embedded in a two-dimensional self …
