The introduction of bound states in the continuum (BICs) to photonics has revolutionized the
way cavity design and light–matter interactions are thought about in general. BICs can have …

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 …

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 …

The quest for all-optical signal processing is generally deemed to be impractical because
optical nonlinearities are usually weak. The emerging field of nonlinear photonic crystals …

Recently, strongly modulated photonic crystals, fabricated by the state-of-the-art
semiconductor nanofabrication process, have realized various novel optical properties. This …

Nanotechnology, science, and engineering spearhead the 21st century revolution that is

We report an experimental demonstration of an ultracompact biochemical sensor based on
a two-dimensional photonic crystal microcavity. The microcavity, fabricated on a silicon-on …

In this paper, we describe a general optomechanical system for converting photons to
phonons in an efficient and reversible manner. We analyze classically and quantum …

In this research, an all-optical half-subtractor is designed and simulated using two-
dimensional photonic crystals. First, a photonic crystal structure is created using Si rods in …

In this review the basic principles of interference lithography (IL) are described. IL is
emerging as one of the most powerful yet relatively inexpensive methodologies for creating …
