Transmission of slow light through photonic crystal waveguide bends.
The spectral dependence of the bending loss of cascaded 60 degrees bends in photonic crystal (PhC) waveguides is explored in a slab-type silicon-on-insulator system. An ultralow bending loss of (0.05 +/- 0.03) dB/bend is measured at wavelengths corresponding to the nearly dispersionless transmission regime. In contrast, the PhC bend is found to become completely opaque for wavelengths correspon...
متن کاملWavelength Conversion Using Kerr Nonlinearity in a GaInP Photonic Crystal Fabry-Perot Resonator
We report GaInP photonic crystal Fabry-Perot resonators containing integrated reflectors. Efficient wavelength conversion of 30 ps pulses was demonstrated where the Kerr effect dominates and the device speed is limited by the resonator
متن کاملAnalysis of a quantum nondemolition measurement scheme based on Kerr nonlinearity in photonic crystal waveguides.
We discuss the feasibility of a quantum nondemolition measurement (QND) of photon number based on cross phase modulation due to the Kerr effect in photonic crystal waveguides (PCW's). In particular, we derive the equations for two modes propagating in PCW's and their coupling by a third order nonlinearity. The reduced group velocity and small cross-sectional area of the PCW lead to an enhanceme...
متن کاملDispersion irrelevant wideband asymmetric transmission in dielectric photonic crystal gratings.
Wideband suppression of zero order and relevant strongly asymmetric transmission can be obtained in photonic crystal gratings that are made of linear isotropic materials and show the broken structural (axial) symmetry, even if zero diffraction order may be coupled to a Floquet-Bloch (FB) wave at the incidence and exit interfaces. The studied mechanism requires that the peculiar diffractions at ...
متن کاملAsymmetric light propagation in chirped photonic crystal waveguides.
We report numerical and experimental investigations of asymmetric light propagation in a newly designed photonic structure that is formed by creating a chirped photonic crystal (PC) waveguide. The use of a non-symmetric distribution of unit cells of PC ensures the obtaining of asymmetric light propagation. Properly designing the spatial modulation of a PC waveguide inherently modifies the band ...
