The design, fabrication and measurement of a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) two-dimensional photonic crystal ring resonator are demonstrated in this study. The structure of the photonic crystal is comprised of silicon nano-rods arranged in a hexagonal lattice on an SOI wafer. The photonic crystal ring resonator allows for the simultaneous separation of light at wavelengths of 1.31 and 1.55mum. The device is fabricated by e-beam lithography. The measurement results confirm that a 1.31mum/1.55mum wavelength ring resonator filter with a nano-rod photonic crystal structure can be realized.

In this letter, we demonstrate a robust and stacked diode-switch organic nonvolatile bistable memory (DS-ONBM) using polymer-chain-stabilized gold nanoparticles on a plastic substrate in ambient air. The absorption spectrum of the gold nanoparticles shows ultraviolet (UV) absorption. Therefore, UV light is used to erase data in the DS-ONBM. The data in the memory can be retained for more than ten days in the air. The estimated retention time is nearly a year. This DS-ONBM is demonstrated to read, write, and retain the data and is reusable by UV-light illumination. Hence, the UV-erasable DS-ONBM is fully applicable in printed electronics such as RFID tags
