Focus Serial: Frontiers of Nonlinear Optics We review recent research on nonlinear optical
interactions in waveguides with sub-micron transverse dimensions, which are termed …

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 …

Focus Serial: Frontiers of Nonlinear Optics Chalcogenide glasses offer large ultrafast third-
order nonlinearities, low two-photon absorption and the absence of free carrier absorption in …

A theoretical formalism to calculate the spontaneous emission rate enhancement (Purcell
factor) and propagation mode β factor from single quantum dots in a planar-photonic-crystal …

We have proposed an ultracompact all-optical photonic crystal AND gate based on
nonlinear ring resonators, consisting of two Kerr nonlinear photonic crystal ring resonators …

Solitons are nonlinear waves that exhibit invariant or recurrent behaviour as they propagate.
Precise control of dispersion and nonlinear effects governs soliton propagation and, through …

We report the observation of a Fano resonance between continuum Mie scattering and a
narrow Bragg band in synthetic opal photonic crystals. The resonance leads to a …

We propose a novel concept for creating high-Q cavities in photonic crystal slabs (PCSs)
composed of photosensitive material. To date, high-Q cavities have been realized through …

We present a summary of our recent experiments showing how various nonlinear
phenomena are enhanced due to slow light in silicon photonic crystal waveguides. These …

We demonstrate highly efficient evanescent coupling via a silica loop-nanowire, to ultra-
small (0.5 (λ/n)^ 3), InAs/InP quantum dot photonic crystal cavities, specifically designed for …
