Abstract The ability to control and steer optical beams is critical for emerging technologies. Among these are light detection ranging (LiDAR), laser display, free space communication, single pixel imaging. Improvements in areas promise enhanced 3D data collection capabilities, orders of magnitude increase wireless rate, less expensive cameras, ever more immersive virtual/augmented reality (VR/...

Wavelength conversion of a 9.35 Gb/s RZ signal is demonstrated using an InP photonic crystal H0 nanocavity. A clear eye is observed for the converted signal showing a pre-FEC bit error ratio down to 10.

A plasmonic slot waveguide excited by evanescent wave coupling of a silicon strip waveguide is studied to be used as a label-free biosensor. The plasmonic slot waveguide enables strong electric-field enhancement in a small volume inducing higher interaction between the light and the analyte. OCIS codes: (280.1415) Remote sensing and sensors; (350.4238) Nanophotonics and photonic crystals

A two-dimensional finite-difference complex wavevector band structure solver for nanophotonics applications is presented, and rigorous computation of modal properties within bandgaps of periodic devices, including mirror strength, is shown. OCIS codes: (000.4430) Numerical approximation and analysis; (050.1755) Computational electromagnetic methods; (130.3120) Integrated optics devices.

We fabricated and characterized InGaAsP photonic crystal nanocavities. By carefully tailoring the structural parameters, both an efficient coupling and a suitable Q-factor can be achieved. Depending on the design of the coupling region, sharp Fano lines may be observed. OCIS codes: (050.5298) Photonic crystals; (350.4238) Nanophotonics and photonic crystals; (220.4241) Nanostructure fabrication.
