Optically tunable silicon photonic crystal microcavities.
We demonstrate the use of silicon photonic crystal based microcavity structures to perform light modulation at potentially giga-Hertz speeds through the use of optically induced plasma dispersion. The cavity configurations considered have the potential to operate at low pump power when the Q of the cavity involved is maximized.
متن کاملPolarization Stop Bands in Chiral Polymeric Three-Dimensional Photonic Crystals
Chiral 3D photonic crystals are an interesting subclass of 3D photonic crystals. For example, large complete 3D photonic bandgaps have been predicted for high-index-contrast silicon square-spiral structures; corresponding experiments using glancing-incidence deposition, interference lithography, or direct laser writing have been published. In addition to complete gaps or stop bands, theory also...
متن کاملTunable positive and negative refraction in optically induced photonic lattices.
We study tunable refraction of light in one-dimensional periodic lattices induced optically in a photorefractive crystal. We observe experimentally both positive and negative refraction of beams that selectively excite the first or second spectral bands of the periodic lattice, and we demonstrate tunability of the output beam position by dynamically adjusting the lattice depth. At higher laser ...
متن کاملThermo-optically tunable silicon photonic crystal light modulator.
We designed, fabricated, and characterized a thermo-optically tunable compact (10 μm × 10 μm) silicon photonic crystal (PhC) light modulator that operates at around 1.55 µm for TE polarization. The operational principle of the device is the modulation of the cutoff frequency in a silicon-based line defect PhC. The cutoff frequency is shifted because of the thermo-optic tuning of the silicon ref...
متن کاملOptically induced magnetization in homogeneous, undoped dielectric media
A widely held viewpoint in optics, namely, that dynamic magnetic effects are extremely weak at optical frequencies, is re-examined. Nonlinear charge motion induced by the optical magnetic field in dielectric systems is analyzed, is predicted to be resonantly enhanced, and is observed experimentally in CCl4, C6H6, and H2O at the fundamental input frequency. Excellent agreement is obtained with a...
