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 …

Since the advent of quantum mechanics and the clear demonstration of the existence
of'matter waves', physicists have never failed to take advantage of concepts and theoretical …

A technique is demonstrated which efficiently transfers light between a tapered standard
single-mode optical fiber and a high-Q, ultra-small mode volume, silicon photonic crystal …

We have proposed an ultracompact all-optical photonic crystal AND gate based on
nonlinear ring resonators, consisting of two Kerr nonlinear photonic crystal ring resonators …

It is clear that current government policy places increasing emphasis on the need for flexible
team working. This requires a shared understanding of roles and working practices …

A two-dimensional photonic crystal semiconductor microcavity with a quality factor Q∼
40,000 and a modal volume V eff∼ 0.9 cubic wavelengths is demonstrated. A micron-scale …

A tunable photonic crystal microcavity with in-filling holes has been experimentally realized
by using the thermooptic effect in silicon-on-insulator waveguide at/spl lambda/= 1530 nm …

In this paper, we discuss unique light localizations in photonic crystal line defect waveguides
based on two different concepts. The first concept is an additional defect doping that breaks …

We present an efficient and flexible method for solving the non-linear lasing equations of the
steady-state ab initio laser theory. Our strategy is to solve the underlying system of partial …

We present a multimode laser-linewidth theory for arbitrary cavity structures and geometries
that contains nearly all previously known effects and also finds new nonlinear and …
