An overview is presented of the current state‐of‐the‐art in silicon nanophotonic ring
resonators. Basic theory of ring resonators is discussed, and applied to the peculiarities of …

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 …

A lattice of optical ring resonators can exhibit a topological insulator phase, with the role of
spin played by the direction of propagation of light within each ring. Unlike the system …

The current trend in silicon photonics towards higher levels of integration as well as the
model of using CMOS foundries for fabrication are leading to a need for standardization of …

Electromagnetic filtering is essential for emerging integrated photonic technologies and
widely adaptable processing of high‐bandwidth signals. The conventional electro‐optic …

The ability to rapidly switch between orbital angular momentum modes of light has important
implications for future classical and quantum systems. In general, orbital angular momentum …

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 …

Slow light devices such as photonic crystal waveguides (PhCW) and coupled resonator
optical waveguides (CROW) have much promise for optical signal processing applications …

A century after the first optical cavity, coupled resonator optical waveguides (CROWs) were
conceived as a new way to guide light on a photonic chip. Controlling chains of coupled …

We report on the direct observation of backscattering induced by sidewall roughness in high-
index-contrast optical waveguides based on total internal reflection. Our results demonstrate …
