چکیده

Free-standing "AMTIR-1" (Ge33As12Se55) chalcogenide glass films have been patterned using a focused ion beam (FIB) to create two-dimensional photonic crystal membranes. The triangular lattices were selected for a photonic bandgap relevant to fiber telecommunications. Optical measurements of transmission spectra as a function of incident angle showed clear signs of Fano resonances, indicating that the structures had strongly modified guided modes.

High aspect ratio LiNbO3 photonic crystals Toward 3D LiNbO3 micro and nano structures

We report easy to implement techniques for the fabrication of high aspect ratio LiNbO3 photonic crystals. The methods rely on optical grade dicing followed by focused ion beam (FIB) milling. A 2D photonic crystal with an extinction ratio of -14dB is demonstrated. We show how the techniques can be combined for the development of 3D photonic crystals. LiNbO3, ridge waveguides; photonic crystals,

Low-loss photonic device in Ge-Sb-S chalcogenide glass.

Low-loss waveguides constitute an important building block for integrated photonic systems. In this work, we investigated low-loss photonic device fabrication in Ge23Sb7S70 chalcogenide glass using electron beam lithography followed by plasma dry etching. High-index-contrast waveguides with a low propagation loss of 0.5 dB/cm and microdisk resonators with an int...

Integrated flexible chalcogenide glass photonic devices

Photonic integration on thin flexible plastic substrates is important for emerging applications ranging from the realization of flexible interconnects to conformal sensors applied to the skin. Such devices are traditionally fabricated using pattern transfer, which is complicated and has limited integration capacity. Here, we report a convenient monolithic approach to realize flexible, integrate...

Fabrication of low loss dispersion engineered chalcogenide photonic crystals.

We demonstrate low loss photonic crystal waveguides in chalcogenide (Ge(33)As(12)Se(55)) glasses. The measured losses are as low as 21 dB/cm. We experimentally determine the refractive index of the thin film chalcogenide glass to be n = 2.6 and demonstrate that dispersion engineering can be performed up to a group index of ng = 40 in this relatively low refractive index contrast system.

Chalcogenide Inverted Opal Photonic Crystal as Infrared Pigments

Large surface infrared photonic crystals with reflectance higher than 90% have successfully been synthesized by self-assembling large size SiO2 spheres, of 0.8 – 4.5 m diameters, followed by melt infiltration with the chalcogenide glass Ge33As12Se55 and the removal of the SiO2 spheres by chemical etching. The sphere size and the periodicity of the templates were chosen to guarantee the formatio...
