Anisotropy-Induced Photonic Bound States in the Continuum

Using Photonic Integrated Circuits

Contention resolution and forwarding of labeled optical packets at 40 Gb/s is demonstrated utilizing multiple InP based optical buffers and monolithic wavelength converters. Layer-2 packet recovery measurements are presented. ©2009 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (060.1810) Buffers, couplers, routers, switches, and multiplexers; (060.6719) Switching, packet

Micromechanical Photonic Integrated Circuits

The ability to integrate micro-optical elements with movable structures and microactuators has opened up many new opportunities for optical and optoelectronic systemsI2. It allows us to manipulate optical beams more effectively than conventional methods, and is scalable to large optical systems. Optical MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) have applications in display, sensing, and optical dat...

Photonic Integrated Circuits

Large-scale photonic integrated circuits (PICs) in Indium Phosphide represent a significant technology innovation that simplifies optical system design, reduces space and power consumption, and improves reliability. In addition, by lowering the cost of optical-to-electrical-to-optical (OEO) conversion in optical networks, they provide a transformational opportunity to embrace the use of electro...

1 Bound States in the Continuum

Bound states in the continuum are waves that, defying conventional wisdom, remain localized even though they coexist with a continuous spectrum of radiating waves that can carry energy away. Their existence was first proposed in quantum mechanics and, being a general wave phenomenon, later identified in electromagnetic, acoustic, and water waves. They have been studied in a wide variety of mate...
