Fabrication of 2-D photonic crystals using azo polymers
Authors
Abstract:
In this paper, we have reported the fabrication of two-dimensional photonic crystals, using a direct writing method in azo polymers. Periodic structures have been fabricated using the interference patterns of two coherent laser beams. The frequency response of the initial one-dimensional structure shows an attenuation of 19.3dB at 1554nm. The twodimensional structure shows 8.3dB and 11.3dB of attenuation at 1554nm in two perpendicular main axes of the structure. The diffraction pattern shows the characteristic rectangular pattern.

This paper reports the experimental approaches to the fabrication of two-layer integrated phase masks and the fabrication of photonic crystal templates using the phase mask based on holographic lithography technique. The photonic crystal template is formed by exposing photoresist mixtures to five-beam interference patterns generated through the phase mask. The fabricated phase mask consists of ...

We present a simple, versatile technique for the fabrication of large, three-dimensional gap photonic crystals using glancing angle deposition (GLAD). A tetragonal lattice suitable for a large photonic band gap (PBG) can be synthesized by a regular array of square spiral structures grown from a simple, prepatterned substrate using physical vapor deposition and advanced substrate motion. Tetrago...

We describe the fabrication of three-dimensional photonic crystals using a reproducible and reliable procedure consisting of electron beam lithography followed by a sequence of dry etching steps. Careful fabrication has enabled us to define photonic crystals with 280 nm holes defined with 350 nm center to center spacings in GaAsP and GaAs epilayers. We construct these photonic crystals by trans...

Two experimental techniques have been developed for creating photonic structures in nonlinear optical (NLO) polymers with precisions down to nanoscale. The ®rst technique uses nanoimprinting technology to directly pattern the guest±host NLO polymers. It can be applied to the fabrication of photonic bandgap structures in NLO materials, as well as many other photonic structures in both linear and...
full textFabrication 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.
