Silicon photonics has experienced phenomenal transformations over the last decade. In this
paper, we present some of the notable advances in silicon-based passive and active optical …

We review the different types of dispersion engineered photonic crystal waveguides that
have been developed for slow light applications. We introduce the group index bandwidth …

The great interest in photonic crystals and their applications in the last 15 years is being
expressed in the publishing of a large number of monographs, collections, textbooks and …

In this paper, we report a direct comparison between coupled resonator optical waveguides
(CROWs) and photonic crystal waveguides (PhCWs), which have both been exploited as …

We use slow-light photonic crystals to enhance optical switching and modulation in silicon.
By using dispersion-engineered designs, a switch as short as 5¿ m was achieved, in which …

Surface plasmon polaritons provide a unique opportunity to localize and guide optical
signals on deeply subwavelength scales and can be used as a prospective information …

We report on a three-waveguide electro-optic switch for compact photonic integrated circuits
and data routing applications. The device features a plasmonic metal-oxide-semiconductor …

The need for miniaturized, fully integrated semiconductor lasers has stimulated significant
research efforts into realizing unconventional configurations that can meet the performance …

This paper had designed and simulated new structures for realizing half-adder and half-
subtractor based on a linear photonic crystal. For this purpose, first, some individual gates …

The influence of heating load on the thermal response of a CNT film heater has been
studied. Two kinds of heat dissipation modes, thermal radiation in a vacuum and convection …
