The goal to achieve arbitrary control of photon flow has motivated much of the recent
research on photonic crystals and metamaterials. As a new mechanism for controlling …

A new class of composite materials has emerged which provides a means to control and
manipulate light. These materials, known as photonic crystals, are periodic arrays of …

We point out that electromagnetic one-way edge modes analogous to quantum Hall edge
states, originally predicted by Raghu and Haldane in 2D photonic crystals possessing Dirac …

Abstract A 200,000-yr interval of extreme global warming marked the start of the Eocene
epoch about 55 million years ago. Negative carbon-and oxygen-isotope excursions in …

We demonstrate how slow group velocities of light, which are readily achievable in photonic-
crystal systems, can dramatically increase the induced phase shifts caused by small …

Photonic crystals,, offer unprecedented opportunities for miniaturization and integration of
optical devices. They also exhibit a variety of new physical phenomena, including …

A four-port nonlinear photonic crystal system is discussed that exhibits optical bistability with
negligible backscattering to the inputs, making it particularly suitable for integration with …

We present an analytical model and numerical experiments to describe optimal bistable
switching in a nonlinear photonic crystal system. It is proved that only three parameters are …

We present an electro-optical switch implemented in coupled photonic crystal waveguides.
The switch is proposed and analyzed using both the FDTD and PWM methods. The device …

We propose an all-optical half adder based on two different cross structures in two-
dimensional photonic crystals. One cross structure contains nonlinear materials and …
