Following the realization of photonic crystals in the late 1980s and fueled by the vision of
photonic “highways” and all-optical switching, the field has grown into one of the most …

It has recently been shown that the polarization of electromagnetic radiation can be
completely controlled using devices constructed entirely from photonic crystals. We will …

We report on the fabrication and electro-optic measurements of face-centered-cubic (fcc)
lattices in holographic polymer dispersed liquid-crystal materials. Four linearly polarized …

The differential dispersion relation for the E and H modes (TM-like and TE-like, respectively)
in planar photonic crystals is used to control the polarization-dependent propagation of light …

We have experimentally demonstrated polarizers and polarizing beam splitters based on
microwave-scale two-dimensional photonic crystals. Using polarized microwaves within …

The photonic band structure and optical transmittance of two-dimensional periodic
elastomeric photonic crystals are studied computationally to understand the effects of large …

Emerging technologies such as quantum cascade lasers enabled the investigation of the
most interesting, yet very little explored, THz part of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum …

Out of plane radiation losses in two-dimensional (2 D) photonic crystal (PC) waveguides
occur due to a lack of total internal reflection at the core-substrate∕ superstrate boundaries …

We have constructed and experimentally tested a microwave half waveplate using the
dispersive birefringent properties of a bulk two-dimensional photonic crystal away from its …

A two-dimensional (2D) transverse square lattice is formed using holographic methods in a
liquid-crystal/polymer composite through a photoinduced diffusion process. The polymer …
