Giant Slow Wave Resonance for Light Amplification and Lasing
Alex Figotin, Ilya Vitebskiy
We apply the idea of giant slow wave resonance associated with a degenerate photonic band edge to gain enhancement of active media. This approach allows to dramatically reduce the…
Resonance enhancement of magnetic Faraday rotation
Alex Figotin, Ilya Vitebskiy
Magnetic Faraday rotation is widely used in optics. In natural transparent materials, this effect is very weak. One way to enhance it is to incorporate the magnetic material into a…
Absorption suppression in photonic crystals
A. Figotin, I. Vitebskiy
We study electromagnetic properties of periodic composite structures, such as photonic crystals, involving lossy components. We show that in many cases a properly designed periodic…
Slow wave resonance in periodic stacks of anisotropic layers
Alex Figotin, Ilya Vitebskiy
We consider transmission band edge resonance in periodic layered structures involving birefringent layers. Previously we have shown that the presence of birefringent layers with mi…
Frozen light in periodic metamaterials
A. Figotin, I. Vitebskiy
Wave propagation in spatially periodic media, such as photonic crystals, can be qualitatively different from any uniform substance. The differences are particularly pronounced when…
Gigantic transmission band edge resonance in periodic stacks of anisotropic layers
Alex Figotin, Ilya Vitebskiy
We consider Fabry-Perot cavity resonance in periodic stacks of anisotropic layers with misaligned in-plane anisotropy at the frequency close to a photonic band edge. We show that i…
