Nonreciprocal waveguide Bragg gratings.

The use of a complex short-period (Bragg) grating which combines matched periodic modulations of refractive index and loss/gain allows asymmetrical mode coupling within a contra-directional waveguide coupler. Such a complex Bragg grating exhibits a different behavior (e.g. in terms of the reflection and transmission spectra) when probed from opposite ends. More specifically, the grating has a s...

Unidirectional excitation of surface plasmons by slanted gratings.

Surface plasmon excitation by normally incident light on surface-relief metallic diffraction gratings is studied numerically. Predominantly unidirectional excitation is achieved with a grating of either a slanted lamellar or an inclined sinusoidal groove profile, both having shallow depths. Maps of Poynting vector illustrate that the energy flow turns from normal incidence in the far-field regi...

Demonstration of mode conversion using anti-symmetric waveguide Bragg gratings.

We experimentally demonstrate a novel grating which only produces reflection with mode conversion in a two-mode waveguide. That characteristic can improve the performance of optical devices that currently use tilted Bragg gratings to provide the mode conversion. Tilted Bragg gratings produce also reflections without mode conversion which increases noise and crosstalk of the optical device.

Electrical excitation of surface plasmons.

We exploit a plasmon mediated two-step momentum down-conversion scheme to convert low-energy tunneling electrons into propagating photons. Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagating along an extended gold nanowire are excited on one end by low-energy electron tunneling and are then converted to free-propagating photons at the other end. The separation of excitation and outcoupling proves tha...

Simultaneous 2D Strain Sensing Using Polymer Planar Bragg Gratings

We demonstrate the application of polymer planar Bragg gratings for multi-axial strain sensing and particularly highlight simultaneous 2D strain measurement. A polymer planar Bragg grating (PPBG) fabricated with a single writing step in bulk polymethylmethacrylate is used for measuring both tensile and compressive strain at various angles. It is shown that the sensitivity of the PPBG strongly d...
