Angle-resolved transmission spectroscopy of three-dimensional photonic crystals fabricated by direct laser writing

Three-dimensional bichiral plasmonic crystals fabricated by direct laser writing and electroless silver plating.

On-chip three-dimensional high-Q microcavities fabricated by femtosecond laser direct writing.

We report on the fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) high-Q whispering gallery microcavities on a fused silica chip by femtosecond laser microfabriction, enabled by the 3D nature of femtosecond laser direct writing. The processing mainly consists of formation of freestanding microdisks by femtosecond laser direct writing and subsequent wet chemical etching. CO(2) laser annealing is followed t...

Waveguides in three-dimensional photonic-bandgap materials by direct laser writing and silicon double inversion.

Three-dimensional complete photonic-bandgap materials offer unique opportunities regarding the integration of optical waveguide architectures in three dimensions. However, corresponding experimental realizations are truly sparse. Here, we fabricate such waveguides using direct laser writing and a silicon double-inversion procedure. The optical characterization is in good agreement with theoreti...

A novel three-dimensional photonic laser and fabrication of three-dimensional photonic crystals

We have proposed a novel three-dimensional (3D) photonic crystal laser. The electromagnetic field, radiation power density, and lifetime of spontaneous emission of the laser were calculated by a plane-wave method. When a defect layer is introduced into the crystal, spontaneous emission radiates only in the lasing direction. The radiation angle is as sharp as that of a conventional surface-emitt...
