Efficient analysis and design of low-loss whispering-gallery-mode coupled resonator optical waveguide bends
Svetlana V. Pishko, Phillip Sewell, Trevor M. Benson +1
Waveguides composed of electromagnetically-coupled optical microcavities (coupled resonator optical waveguides or CROWs) can be used for light guiding, slowing and storage. In this…
Coupling of whispering-gallery modes in size-mismatched microdisk photonic molecules
Svetlana V. Boriskina
Mechanisms of whispering-gallery (WG) modes coupling in microdisk photonic molecules (PMs) with slight and significant size mismatch are numerically investigated. The results revea…
Micro-optical resonators for microlasers and integrated optoelectronics: recent advances and future challenges
Trevor M. Benson, Svetlana V. Boriskina, Phillip Sewell +3
Optical microcavities trap light in compact volumes by the mechanisms of almost total internal reflection or distributed Bragg reflection, enable light amplification, and select ou…
Directional emission, increased free spectral range and mode Q-factors in 2-D wavelength-scale optical microcavity structures
Svetlana V. Boriskina, Trevor M. Benson, Phillip Sewell +1
Achieving single-mode operation and highly directional (preferably unidirectional) in-plane light output from whispering-gallery (WG) mode semiconductor microdisk resonators withou…
Spectrally-engineered photonic molecules as optical sensors with enhanced sensitivity: a proposal and numerical analysis
Svetlana V. Boriskina
We report a theoretical study of clusters of evanescently-coupled 2D whispering-gallery (WG) mode optical micro-cavities (termed "photonic molecules") as chemosensing and biosensin…
Symmetry, degeneracy and optical confinement of modes in coupled microdisk resonators and photonic crystal cavities
Svetlana V. Boriskina
Fast and highly accurate method based on the Muller contour integral equations and a trigonometric-trigonometric Galerkin discretization technique is presented for spectral design…
