Magnetic Faraday rotation in lossy photonic structures
A. Figotin, I. Vitebskiy
Magnetic Faraday rotation is widely used in optics and MW. In uniform magneto-optical materials, this effect is very weak. One way to enhance it is to incorporate the magnetic mate…
Slow Wave Phenomena in Photonic Crystals
Alex Figotin, Ilya Vitebskiy
Slow light in photonic crystals and other periodic structures is associated with stationary points of the photonic dispersion relation, where the group velocity of light vanishes.…
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…
Inverse Borrmann effect in photonic crystals
A. P. Vinogradov, Yu. E. Lozovik, A. M. Merzlikin +5
The Borrmann effect, which is related to the microscopic distribution of the electromagnetic field inside the primitive cell, is studied in photonic and magnetophotonic crystals. T…
