“…Due to very high sensitivity, the applications of optical sensor are also improved in all domains [29]. PCs technology are used in order to reduce the size of the sensor without decreasing the quality of the sensor, and the application of PCs in design of bio-sensors are very interested [30][31]. Due to optical filter that is basic structure for design of de-multiplexers, de-multiplexers are one of the main components of optical telecommunication systems that increase the capacity of data transmission, and there are different ways to design optical filters as point and line defects, couplers, cavities and ring resonators [32].…”

Photonic crystals (PCs) are a field that is very important and interested in the design of a wide range of devices to control electromagnetic waves in different frequency regimes. Here, We try to introduce an all-optical device with practical applications such as fast response and high accuracy that have very critical and benchmark development in optical devices for photonic integrated circuits. In this paper, a novel modified shape 4-channel demultiplexer based on 2D-PCs by using suitable ring resonators is proposed to control light. The presented configuration includes three parts such as a direct input waveguide, a ring resonator, and four indirect waveguides for outputs of optical waves. Numerical analysis is investigated based on finite difference time domain (FDTD) method to achieve a four-band demultiplexer that has the capability to control the electromagnetic waves. Numerical results show that not only average quality factor (Q) of the 2D-PCs demultiplexer is 3969.25, but also average cross-talking value is -30.38 dB, the average transmission coefficient (T) is 0.998 and the lowest and highest channel bandwidths are 0.3 and 0.6 nm, respectively. Also, the minimum and maximum distance between any two adjacent channels is 0.6 and 1.1 nm. The all optical photonic demultiplexer has a compact footprint and occupies an area of 302 µm² and its operation is in long wavelength region. Based on the abovementioned practical performance and results, the presented optical demultiplexer is highly accurate by using a robust and low power-area that can be nominated to use photonic integrated circuits (PIC).

There has been a rapid development of THz technology—sources, detectors and various THz imaging and sensing techniques. The THz technology demonstrates great potential as a modality for early, label free, non-ionizing and non-invasive detection of cancer. Some progressive technological development milestones have been achieved in this regard, however, to become clinically competitive and to provide the sought after real operational convenience, there is need for further research and development to overcome the existing challenges. This paper provides recent trends and perspectives through identification of existing challenges for the development of THz imaging and sensing systems that can evolve into actual medical modalities. We provide an overview of various aspects of THz technology, including techniques for imaging and sensing, mechanisms for THz image contrast and models for tissue dielectric responses to THz waves. The THz imaging application for detection of various cancers is briefed. The advantages of THz cancer imaging and sensing as well as the existing challenges are identified, with recommendations provided in contribution to future research. Further, some recent THz imaging and sensing developments such as the near-field methods to break the diffraction limit including waveguides, resonance and plasmonic metasurfaces are discussed. We emphasize the contribution of analytical algorithms that are based on machine learning, in particular, deep learning for the development of THz technology. Graphical abstract

In this paper, mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) optimization algorithm integrated with kriging surrogate-model is newly formulated to optimize the dispersion characteristics of photonic crystal fibers (PCFs). The MINLP is linked with full vectorial finite difference method (FVFDM) to optimize the modal properties of the PCFs. Through the optimization process, the design parameters can take real and/or integer values. The integer values can be used to selectively fill the PCF air holes to control its dispersion characteristics. However, the other optimization techniques deal with real design parameters where the PCF can be optimized using none or predefined infiltrated air holes. The MINLP algorithm is used to obtain an ultra-flat zero dispersion over a broadband of wavelength range from 1.25 to 1.6 μm using silica PCF selectively infiltrated with Ethanol material. To show the superiority of the proposed algorithm, nematic liquid crystal selectively infiltrated PCFs are also designed with high negative flat dispersion over wide range of wavelengths from 1.25 to 1.6 μm for the quasi transverse magnetic (TM) and the quasi transverse electric (TE) modes. Such designs have negative flat dispersions of − 163 ± 0.9 and − 170 ± 1.2 ps/Km nm, respectively over the studied wavelength range. Therefore, the MINLP algorithms could be used efficiently for the design and optimization of selectively filled photonic devices.
