Asymmetric light propagation in chirped photonic crystal waveguides.
We report numerical and experimental investigations of asymmetric light propagation in a newly designed photonic structure that is formed by creating a chirped photonic crystal (PC) waveguide. The use of a non-symmetric distribution of unit cells of PC ensures the obtaining of asymmetric light propagation. Properly designing the spatial modulation of a PC waveguide inherently modifies the band ...
متن کاملNonlinear light propagation in chalcogenide photonic crystal slow light waveguides.
Optical nonlinearity can be enhanced by the combination of highly nonlinear chalcogenide glass and photonic crystal waveguides (PCWs) providing strong optical confinement and slow-light effects. In a Ag-As(2)Se(3) chalcogenide PCW, the effective nonlinear parameter γeff reaches 6.3 × 10(4) W(-1)m(-1), which is 200 times larger than that in Si photonic wire waveguides. In this paper, we report t...
متن کاملAnomalous propagation loss in photonic crystal waveguides.
Propagation loss can occur in photonic crystal waveguides without complete optical confinement. We employ a highly efficient transfer-matrix method which allows for accurate and reliable extraction of the propagation loss even at an extremely low level. The results for a two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguide shows that the loss exponentially decays via the waveguide wall thickness. An anom...
متن کاملAsymmetric Light Propagation in Active Photonic Structures
This thesis will present a theoretical and numerical analysis of optical systems exhibiting non-reciprocity, with potential applications in the field of integrated opto-electronic circuits. We will carefully engineer structures with highly-asymmetric transport properties, where traits such as reflectance and transmittance are dependent upon the incident direction of the interrogating waves. Thi...
متن کاملLight transport regimes in slow light photonic crystal waveguides
The dispersive properties of waves are strongly affected by inevitable residual disorder in man-made propagating media, in particular in the slow wave regime. By a direct measurement of the dispersion curve in k space, we show that the nature of the guided modes in real photonic crystal waveguides undergoes an abrupt transition in the vicinity of a band edge. Such a transition that is not highl...
