The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is a widespread numerical tool for full-
wave analysis of electromagnetic fields in complex media and for detailed geometries …

Photonic crystals have proven their potential and are nowadays a familiar concept. They
have been approached from many scientific and technological flanks. Among the many …

This paper describes Meep, a popular free implementation of the finite-difference time-
domain (FDTD) method for simulating electromagnetism. In particular, we focus on aspects …

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 show that the nuclear architecture of rod photoreceptor cells differs fundamentally in
nocturnal and diurnal mammals. The rods of diurnal retinas possess the conventional …

Mammalian photoreceptors aggregate numerous mitochondria, organelles chiefly for energy
production, in the ellipsoid region immediately adjacent to the light-sensitive outer segment …

We present a slot-waveguide-based ring resonator in silicon on insulator (SOI) with a
footprint of only 13\mum*10\mum, fabricated with optical lithography. Experiments show that …

We present a photonics topology optimization (TO) package capable of addressing a wide
range of practical photonics design problems, incorporating robustness and manufacturing …

In this paper, we use the transfer matrix method to calculate the optical absorptance of
vertically-aligned silicon nanowire (SiNW) arrays. For fixed filling ratio, significant optical …

We report first observations of deterministic phase-and resonance-controlled all-optical
electromagnetically induced transparency in multiple coupled photonic crystal cavities. The …
