Holographic fabrication of three-dimensional orthorhombic and tetragonal photonic crystal templates using a diffractive optical element

Five beam holographic lithography for simultaneous fabrication of three dimensional photonic crystal templates and line defects using phase tunable diffractive optical element.

This paper demonstrates an approach for laser holographic patterning of three-dimensional photonic lattice structures using a single diffractive optical element. The diffractive optical element is fabricated by recording gratings in a photosensitive polymer using a two-beam interference method and has four diffraction gratings oriented with four-fold symmetry around a central opening. Four firs...

Holographic Fabrication of Three-Dimensional Woodpile-type Photonic Crystal Templates Using Phase Mask Technique

The telecommunication and computing industries are currently facing increasing challenges to transfer data at a faster rate. Researchers believe that it might be possible to engineer a device operate at optical frequencies. Photonic technology using photon instead of electron as a vehicle for information transfer paves the way for a new technological revolution in this field. Photons used for c...

Holographic Fabrication of Woodpile Type Photonic Crystal Templates by the Use of One-dimensional Diffractive Optical Elements

Flexible Holographic Fabrication of 3D Photonic Crystal Templates with Polarization Control through a 3D Printed Reflective Optical Element

In this paper, we have systematically studied the holographic fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) structures using a single 3D printed reflective optical element (ROE), taking advantage of the ease of design and 3D printing of the ROE. The reflective surface was setup at non-Brewster angles to reflect both sand p-polarized beams for the interference. The wide selection of reflective surface m...

Holographically formed three-dimensional Penrose-type photonic quasicrystal through a lab-made single diffractive optical element.

Large-area three-dimensional Penrose-type photonic quasicrystals are fabricated through a holographic lithography method using a lab-made diffractive optical element and a single laser exposure. The diffractive optical element consists of five polymer gratings symmetrically orientated around a central opening. The fabricated Penrose-type photonic quasicrystal shows ten-fold rotational symmetry....
