Advanced Photonic Crystal-Based Integrated Structures for Optical Communications and Optical Signal Processing.

摘要

This AFOSR-supported research was directed toward realizing low-loss large-bandwidth guiding and processing units based on photonic crystals in an integrated level. To achieve this goal, in what follows, different steps (including efficient guiding of light through the planar platform, efficient demultiplexing, methods to flawlessly putting devices together, and actual demonstration of functionalities) to realize this integrated platform will be discussed. Our research in this field has resulted in a large number of scientific publications and technical presentations.
