This work proposes a new meta-heuristic called Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) inspired by grey
wolves (Canis lupus). The GWO algorithm mimics the leadership hierarchy and hunting …

Slow light in photonic crystal waveguide (PCW) is now being heavily investigated for
applications in optical devices. However, slow light with high group index in perfect PCW is …

In this study, merging two photonic crystal-based structures, a new design for an all-optical 2-
to-4 decoder has been proposed. The switching operation is based on the Kerr effect and …

Slotted photonic crystal waveguides (SPCWs) were designed to act as refractive index
sensing devices at mid-infrared (IR) wavelengths around λ= 3.6 μm. In particular, effort was …

We report on electromagnetic modes in space-time-modulated dispersion-engineered
media. These modes exhibit unusual dispersion relation, field profile, and scattering …

In this paper, the sensitivity of slotted photonic crystal waveguides (SPCW) with triangular
lattice pattern of ring-shaped holes is analyzed in order to realize highly refractive index (RI) …

A high sensitive multi-component gas sensing system was proposed, in which the slotted
photonic crystal waveguide (SPCW) was used as the gas cell and the fiber Fabry–Perot …

In this study, an optical switch based on two-dimensional photonic crystals is presented for
the slow light regime. This regime enhances light–matter interaction and can be used to …

A flexible design of slot photonic crystal waveguide with a wide comb is investigated.
Introduction of a carefully designed comb within the photonic crystal waveguide allows an …

Recently, majority of current research in the field of designing Phonic Crystal Waveguides
(PCW) focus in extracting the relations between output slow light properties of PCW and …
