Apodized photonic crystal waveguide gratings.
Apodized photonic crystal (PC) waveguide gratings are proposed to suppress sidelobes which appear in reflection spectra of usual PC waveguide gratings. By using specific functions (Gauss and Gauss-cosine functions) for the longitudinal refractive index distribution, it is possible to suppress sidelobes in the reflection spectra of PC waveguide gratings efficiently. The apodization is realized b...
متن کاملPlanar photonic crystal waveguide biosensor
We present protein detection using a planar photonic crystal waveguide sensor. Experimental results of refractive index measurements show good agreement with simulations. The sensor has been used for protein detection and showed successful detection with excellent signal to noise ratio of proteins with concentrations around 10 μg/ml (0.15μMolar). Introduction In the past 20 years, the research...
متن کاملBasics of the Photonic Crystal Gratings
More than twenty years have passed since that time when the analogy between solid-state physics and optics led to the concept of photonic crystals (PCs) (Yablonovitch, 1987). Fast progress in theory and applications of PCs has been stimulated to a large extent by their unique properties that allow increasing the potential of light controlling. Slabs of PC have mainly been studied in case of lin...
متن کاملNumerical Analysis of Photonic Crystal Waveguide
During the last decade, a major research interest is focused on optical sensors for chemical and biosensing application relaying on refractive index (RI) measurements. Among this class of optical sensors the waveguides confined inside of photonic crystals are of high interest. The application of such RI optical sensors is interesting for both gaseous and aqueous samples and includes measurement...
متن کاملMicromechanical Structures for Photonic Crystal Waveguide Switches
We report design and fabrication process of MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) actuators for a new type of optical switch integrated with photonic crystal (PhC) waveguides. Thin film poly-silicon electrostatic microactuator (either a cantilever or a bridge style) is placed over a PhC waveguide to induce optical modulation by means of mechanical motion in the evanescent fields. For low volt...
