Photonic crystal laser sources for chemical detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have realized photonic crystal lasers that permit the introduction of analyte within the peak of the optical field of the lasing mode. We have explored the design compromises for developing such sensitive low-threshold spectroscopy sources, and demonstrate the operation of photonic crystal lasers in different ambient organic solutions. We show that nanocavity lasers can be used to perform spectroscopic tests on femtoliter volumes of analyte, and propose to use these lasers for high-resolution spectroscopy with single-molecule sensitivity. © 2003 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1586781#

Sensitivity Enhancement of Ring Laser Gyroscope Using Dielectric-Graphene Photonic Crystal
In a ring laser gyroscope, due to the rotation and the Sagnac effect, a phase difference between the two counter-propagating beams is generated. In this device, the higher phase difference between these two beams causes the better the interference pattern detection, and thus the sensitivity is increased. In this paper, the effect of inserting a dielectric-graphene photonic crystal inside a ring...
متن کاملDesign of the [SiO2/ZrO2] photonic crystal filter for application in 350-nm laser safety glasses
In this paper, a one-dimensional photonic crystal filter based on the [SiO2/ZrO2] bilayer have been designed for application in safety glasses for working in 350-nm wavelength. High power lasers with low wavelength e.g. 350-nm have very high power which can cause serious damage to the operator’s eyes. In this paper using the transfer matrix method and theoretical calculation in MATLAB software ...
متن کاملGaN photonic-crystal surface-emitting laser at blue-violet wavelengths.
Shorter-wavelength surface-emitting laser sources are important for a variety of fields, including photonics, information processing, and biology. We report on the creation of a current-driven blue-violet photonic-crystal surface-emitting laser. We have developed a fabrication method, named "air holes retained over growth," in order to construct a two-dimensional gallium nitride (GaN)/air photo...
متن کاملDesign and Fabrication of an Electrically- Activated Photonic Crystal Nanocavity Laser
In the future, optical networks may see an expanded role not only in telecommunications, but also in computers and other common electronic devices. These optical networks will require small, on-chip light sources. By using the photonic crystal's ability to strongly confine light, photonic crystal lasers can be built very small and very efficient, making them ideal for photonic integrated circui...

We report the label-free detection of single particles using photonic crystal nanobeam cavities fabricated in silicon-on-insulator platform, and embedded inside microfluidic channels fabricated in poly-dimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Our system operates in the telecommunication wavelength band, thus leveraging the widely available, robust and tunable telecom laser sources. Using this approach, we demo...
