Transmission of Slow Light through Photonic Crystal Waveguide Bends
Solomon Assefa, Sharee J. McNab, Yurii A. Vlasov
The spectral dependence of a bending loss of cascaded 60-degree bends in photonic crystal (PhC) waveguides is explored in a slab-type silicon-on-insulator system. Ultra-low bending…
Mapping the optical properties of slab-type two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguides
Eric Dulkeith, Sharee J. McNab, Yurii A. Vlasov
We report on systematic experimental mapping of the transmission properties of two-dimensional silicon-on-insulator photonic crystal waveguides for a broad range of hole radii, sla…
Coupling into the slow light mode in slab-type photonic crystal waveguides
Yurii A. Vlasov, Sharee J. McNab
Coupling of external light signals into a photonic crystal waveguide becomes increasingly inefficient as the group velocity of the waveguiding mode slows down. We have systematical…
Observation of surface states in a truncated two-dimensional photonic crystal slab
Yurii A. Vlasov, Nikolaj Moll, Sharee J. McNab
The effect of lattice termination on the surface states in a two-dimensional truncated photonic crystal slab is experimentally studied in a high index contrast silicon-on-insulator…
Mode mixing in asymmetric double trench photonic crystal waveguides
Yu. A. Vlasov, N. Moll, S. J. McNab
e investigate both experimentally and theoretically the waveguiding properties of a novel double trench waveguide where a conventional single-mode strip waveguide is embedded in a…
