Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are the ideal optical sources for data
communication and sensing. In data communication, large data rates combined with …

Dielectric and metallic gratings have been studied for more than a century. Nevertheless,
novel optical phenomena and fabrication techniques have emerged recently and have …

Since the advent of quantum mechanics and the clear demonstration of the existence
of'matter waves', physicists have never failed to take advantage of concepts and theoretical …

Increasing the interaction between light and mechanical resonators is an ongoing endeavor
in the field of cavity optomechanics. Optical microcavities allow for boosting the interaction …

Spectrometry is widely used for the characterization of materials, tissues, and gases, and the
need for size and cost scaling is driving the development of mini and microspectrometers …

Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) consist of a gain medium in which feedback
is generally accomplished by two distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs), for which sufficient …

We report on a 1D quasi-periodic photonic crystal Fabry–Perot optical filter C s (Si/SiO 2) 3
(SiO 2/Si) 3 for spectral selectivity of visible light and 1.55 µm laser. A material transparency …

It is emphasized that two‐dimensional photonic crystals (2D PC) have not only a great
potential for the development of 2D nanophotonics in the inplane waveguided configuration …

We demonstrate a Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) phase methodology to estimate
resonant wavelengths in Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity structures. We validate the phase method in …

Mechanical oscillators are at the heart of many sensor applications. Recently several groups
have developed oscillators that are probed optically, fabricated from high-stress silicon …
