Observation of Complete Photonic Bandgap in Low Refractive Index Contrast Inverse Rod-Connected Diamond Structured Chalcogenides
Lifeng Chen, Katrina A. Morgan, Ghada A. Alzaidy +9
Three-dimensional complete photonic bandgap materials or photonic crystals block light propagation in all directions. The rod-connected diamond structure exhibits the largest photo…
Strong Light Confinement in Rod-Connected Diamond Photonic Crystals
M. P. C. Taverne, Y. -L. D. Ho, X. Zheng +3
We show that it is possible to confine light in a volume of order 10^-3 cubic wavelengths using only dielectric material. Low-index (air) cavities are simulated in high index rod-c…
Direct Wide-angle Measurement of Photonic Band- structure in a Three-dimensional Photonic Crystal using Infrared Fourier Imaging Spectroscopy
Lifeng Chen, Martin Lopez-Garcia, Mike P. C. Taverne +3
We propose a method to directly visualize the photonic band-structure of micron size photonic crystals using wide angle spectroscopy. By extending Fourier Imaging Spectroscopy sens…
Modelling Defect Cavities Formed in Inverse Three-Dimensional Rod-Connected Diamond Photonic Crystals
M. P. C. Taverne, Y. -L. D. Ho, X. Zheng +4
Defect cavities in 3D photonic crystal can trap and store light in the smallest volumes allowable in dielectric materials, enhancing non-linearities and cavity QED effects. Here, w…
Evidence of near-infrared partial photonic bandgap in polymeric rod-connected diamond structures
Lifeng Chen, Mike P. C. Taverne, Xu Zheng +5
We present the simulation, fabrication, and optical characterization of low-index polymeric rod-connected diamond (RCD) structures. Such complex three-dimensional photonic crystal…
Investigation of defect cavities formed in three-dimensional woodpile photonic crystals
Mike P. C. Taverne, Y. -L. D. Ho, J. G. Rarity
We report the optimisation of optical properties of single defects in three-dimensional (3D) face-centred-cubic (FCC) woodpile photonic crystal (PC) cavities by using plane-wave ex…
Nano-fabricated solid immersion lenses registered to single emitters in diamond
L. Marseglia, J. P. Hadden, A. C. Stanley-Clarke +10
We describe a technique for fabricating micro- and nano-structures incorporating fluorescent defects in diamond with a positional accuracy in the hundreds of nanometers. Using conf…
Strongly enhanced photon collection from diamond defect centres under micro-fabricated integrated solid immersion lenses
J. P. Hadden, J. P. Harrison, A. C. Stanley-Clarke +5
The efficiency of collecting photons from optically active defect centres in bulk diamond is greatly reduced by refraction and reflection at the diamond-air interface. We report on…
