Hemispherical Brillouin zone imaging of a diamond-type biological photonic crystal.
The brilliant structural body colours of many animals are created by three-dimensional biological photonic crystals that act as wavelength-specific reflectors. Here, we report a study on the vividly coloured scales of the diamond weevil, Entimus imperialis. Electron microscopy identified the chitin and air assemblies inside the scales as domains of a single-network diamond (Fd3m) photonic cryst...

متن کاملThermal Effects Study on Stimulated Brillouin Light Scattering in Photonic Crystal Fiber
we investigate the temperature-dependences of the Brillouin frequency shift in three different kind of single-mode fibers using a heterodyne method for sensing temperature. Positive dependences coefficients of 0.77, 0.56 and 1.45MHz/0C are demonstrated for 25 km long single-mode fiber, 10 km long non-zero dispersion shifted fiber and 100 m photonic crystal fiber, respectively. The results indic...
متن کاملQuantum photonic devices in single-crystal diamond
Nitrogen–vacancy centers in diamond have outstanding quantum optical properties that enable applications in information processing and sensing. As with most solid-state systems for quantum photonic applications, the great promise lies in the capability to embed them in an on-chip optical network. Here we present basic integrated devices composed of diamond micro-ring resonators coupled to waveg...
متن کاملDistributed Measurement of Brillouin Gain Spectrum in Photonic Crystal Fibre
Distributed measurements of the Brillouin gain spectrum in a photonic crystal fibre have been carried out for the first time to our knowledge. These measurements confirm the strong increase of the Brillouin threshold as resulting from the broadband and multimode nature of the Brillouin gain spectrum all along the fibre. INTRODUCTION The periodic wavelength-scale air-hole microstructure of solid...
