We introduce a photonic crystal waveguide-cavity system for controlling single-photon cavity quantum electrodynamics QED . Exploiting Bloch mode analysis and medium-dependent Green function techniques we demonstrate that the propagation of single photons can be accurately described analytically for integrated periodic waveguides with little more than four unit cells, including an output coupler...

We analyze the resonant linear and nonlinear transmission through a photonic crystal waveguide side-coupled to a Kerr-nonlinear photonic crystal resonator. First, we extend the standard coupled-mode theory analysis to photonic crystal structures and obtain explicit analytical expressions for the bistability thresholds and transmission coefficients which provide the basis for a detailed understa...

The ability of photonic crystals to mold the flow of light in new ways can lead to a variety of novel and improved designs of optical nanocomponents and nanodevices in photonics. Two examples will be presented: a) Using linear materials, a polarization independent waveguide is designed in a 3D photonic crystal. It is demonstrated that this system provides lossless guiding of light at length-sca...

Guided modes in a two-dimensional metallic photonic crystal waveguide are studied. The guided modes in the photonic crystal waveguide are related to those in a conventional metallic waveguide. There exists a cutoff frequency and Ž . consequently a mode gap at low frequencies starting from zero frequency in the photonic crystal metallic waveguide. q 2000 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

We present a comparison of high Q-factor tapered membrane-type onedimensional photonic crystal micro-cavities embedded in photonic wire waveguides based on silicon-on-insulator (SOI). Q-factor values as large as 24,000 have been measured, together with normalized transmission of 67%: an improvement in the Q-factor value in comparison with previous results obtained on structures with silicon cor...

Optofluidic sensors based on highly dispersive two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguides are theoretically studied. Results show that these structures are strongly sensitive to the refractive index of the infiltrated liquid(nl), which is used to tune dispersion of the photonic crystal waveguide. Waveguide mode-gap edge shifts about 1.2 nm for δnl=0.002. The shifts can be explained well by ban...

We report photonic quantum circuits created using an ultrafast laser processing technique that is rapid, requires no lithographic mask and can be used to create three-dimensional networks of waveguide devices. We have characterized directional couplers--the key functional elements of photonic quantum circuits--and found that they perform as well as lithographically produced waveguide devices. W...

Photonic routing has been attracting much interest to overcome the bottleneck of routing function in the broadband networks. This paper investigates theoretically the performance of an integrated-optic circuit for recognition of optical quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) coded labels in photonic router. The analysis takes into account the effect of system impairments such as waveguide loss an...
