We have invented a quasi-Gaussian profile-transmittance filter based on radially varying the phase retardation in a birefringent element. The radial birefringent element has been applied to resonator design and has demonstrated its usefulness in generating an improved resonator spatial-mode profile.

We experimentally demonstrate controlled polarization-selective phenomena in a whispering gallery mode resonator. We observed efficient ( approximately 75%) polarization conversion of light in a silica microsphere coupled to a tapered optical fiber with proper optimization of the polarization of the propagating light. A simple model treating the microsphere as a ring resonator provides a good f...

The inverse design of a three-dimensional nanophotonic resonator is presented. The design methodology is computationally fast (10 minutes on a standard desktop workstation) and utilizes a 2.5-dimensional approximation of the full three-dimensional structure. As an example, we employ the proposed method to design a resonator which exhibits a mode volume of 0.32(λ/n)3 and a quality factor of 7063.

We have demonstrated semiconductor lasers with microring resonators as frequency-selective elements. We show that the small resonator inside the laser makes single frequency-mode operation possible with reasonably good side-mode rejection.

A semi-analytical study of the acoustic radiation losses associated with various transverse vibration modes of a micromechanical (MEMS) annular resonator is presented. The quality factor, Q, of such resonators is of interest in many applications and depends on structural geometry, fluid-structure interaction, and the device encapsulation. Resonators with at least one surface exposed to air can ...

An L-shaped dual-band multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (RDRA) for long term evolution (LTE) applications is proposed. The presented antenna can transmit and receive information independently using fundamental TE111 and higher order TE121 modes of the DRA. TE111 degenerate mode covers LTE band 2 (1.85-1.99 GHz), 3 (1.71-1.88 GHz), and 9 (1.7499-1.784...

We report highly accurate measurements of the vibrational amplitude of a transverse shear mode quartz resonator, obtained by directly imaging the surface oscillatory motion with a scanning tunneling microscope. Amplitude measurements, performed over a range of resonator drive levels and quality factors, agree with theoretical predictions to within a factor of two. © 2000 American Institute of P...

We have numerically investigated the unique effects of metallic nanoparticle on the ring resonator, especially multiple Au nanoparticles on the micro ring resonator with the 4-port configuration on chip. For the Au nanoparticle, because it has smaller real refractive index than air and large absorption refractive index, we found that there is a blue shift for the ring resonance wavelength, inst...

A new class of broadband microstrip filters for Ultra Wide Band (UWB) applications is proposed. In the design, different stages of parallel-coupled microstrip line and other stages with a Modified Complementary Split Ring Resonator (MCSRR)-a concept proposed here for the first time-are adjusted to obtain the desired response with broadband, sharp rejection, low insertion loss, and low return lo...
