Reactive sputtering was used to grow thin films of ScxGa1-xN with scandium concentrations of 20%70% on quartz substrates at temperatures of 300-675 K. X-ray diffraction (XRD) of the films showed either weak or no structure, suggesting the films are amorphous or microcrystalline. Optical absorption spectra were taken of each sample and the optical band gap was determined. The band gap varied lin...

In this paper using nested Rectangular resonator we have designed an add-drop filter based on photonic crystal structures suitable for optical communication applications. The drop efficiency and the quality factor of our proposed filter is 100% and 2508. In this filter the quality factor is significantly improved with respect to other published reports. The simulation results are obtained using...

Silicon thin layers are deposited on glass substrates with the thickness of 103 nm, 147 nm and 197 nm. The layers are produced with electron gun evaporation method under ultra-high vacuum condition. The optical Reectance and the Transmittance of produced layers were measured by using spectrophotometer. The optical functions such as, real and imaginary part of refractive index, real and imaginar...

We establish dispersion engineering rules that allow us to control the thermalization process and thermal state of an initial beam propagating in a multimode nonlinear photonic circuit. To this end, we have implemented kinetic equation (KE) approach systems whose Bloch relation exhibits bands gaps. When ratio between gap-width band-width is larger than critical value, KE has stationary solution...

We have developed a Kramers–Kronig consistent analytical expression to fit the measured optical functions of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) based alloys, i.e., the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function (e1 ,e2) ~or the index of refraction n and absorption coefficient a! versus photon energy E for the alloys. The alloys of interest include amorphous silicon–germanium (a-Si...
