Photonics Materials and Devices
Part 2 reviews the materials properties of photonic materials, such as structure (chemical bonds) and electrical conductivity (bands) in Group IV and III-V compound/alloy semiconductors. The correlation of the principal quantum number with optical, thermal and mechanical properties is examined. The definition of effective mass qualifies the energy-wavenumber dispersion relation for direct or in...
متن کاملCan silicon change photonics?
The electronic chip industry embodies the height of technological sophistication and economics of scale. The industry mass produces complex circuitry, boasting over one billion components at such low cost that they appear in consumer products. Fabricating inexpensive photonic components by leveraging this mighty manufacturing infrastructure has been the impetus behind the development of silicon...
متن کاملChalcogenide Glass Materials for Integrated Infrared Photonics
Chalcogenide glasses (ChGs) are amorphous compounds containing the chalcogen elements (S, Se, Te) and exhibit wide infrared transparency windows. They are easy to synthesize in bulk and thin film forms and their compositional flexibility allows tuning of optical properties such as refractive index making them ideal for infrared photonics. We have studied the material attenuation in ChGs that ar...
متن کاملMultifunctional materials for electronics and photonics
The bottom–up approach is considered a potential alternative for low cost manufacturing of nanostructured materials [1]. It is based on the concept of self–assembly of nanostructures on a substrate, and is emerging as an alternative paradigm for traditional top down fabrication used in the semiconductor industry. We demonstrate various strategies to control nanostructure assembly (both organic ...
متن کاملMaterials Chemistry in 3D Templates for Functional Photonics
This Perspective overviews many of the developments in templated porous three-dimensional photonics, with a particular focus on functional architectures, and provides suggestions for future opportunities for research. A significant diversity of 3D structures is available today with characteristic dimensions appropriate for providing strong light−matter interactions, in no small part due to rece...
