Three-dimensional control of light in a two-dimensional photonic crystal slab

Abstract: Optoelectronic devices are increasingly important in communication and information technology. To achieve the necessary manipulation of light (which carries information in optoelectronic devices), considerable efforts are directed at the development of photonic crystals--periodic dielectric materials that have so-called photonic bandgaps, which prohibit the propagation of photons having energies within the bandgap region. Straightforward application of the bandgap concept is generally thought to require three-… Show more

“…These properties have been extensively studied to achieve control over the spontaneous light emission of nanophotonic sources. 2 PhCs have been proven to confine and manipulate light, 3,4 modify the density of optical states, 5,6 create high quality factor cavities leading to lasing, 7 and increase the outcoupling efficiency of light sources. [8][9][10] Semiconductor nanowires are potentially interesting building blocks for two dimensional (2D) PhCs.…”

“…In recent decades, nanophotonics has emerged as a rapidly expanding new field of light-matter interaction, largely owing to recent advances in nanotechnology that permit better control of material properties at the nanometer scale as well as the availability of sophisticated nanophotonic probes. As such, studies based on the new photonic principles have led to the development of artificial materials with negative refractive indices, [10][11][12] nano-optical circuits, 13,14 nanoscale light-emitting sources, 15,16 imaging beyond the diffraction limit [17][18][19] and superresolution optical lithography. 20,21 These studies have laid the physical groundwork for the confinement of light-matter interactions to the nanometer scale, which paves the way toward breaking or circumventing the diffraction barrier and thus increasing storage capacity by using entirely new nanophotonic approaches.…”

“…This has led to new applications in passive devices for guiding and confinement of electromagnetic radiation. Their use in both microwave and optical devices has primarily been limited to passive devices such as waveguides and filters [4], [5], though some applications in active devices have been reported [6]. The results of investigation of the potential of PBG structures for accelerator cavities are also very promising…”
