Local temperature control of photonic crystal devices via micron-scale electrical heaters
Andrei Faraon, Jelena Vuckovic
We demonstrate a method to locally control the temperature of photonic crystal devices via micron-scale electrical heaters. The method is used to control the resonant frequency of…
Plasmonic Enhancement of Emission from Si-nanocrystals
Yiyang Gong, Jesse Lu, Szu-Lin Cheng +2
Plasmonic gratings of different periodicities are fabricated on top of Silicon nanocrystals embedded in Silicon Dioxide. Purcell enhancements of up to 2 were observed, which matche…
Gallium Phosphide Photonic Crystal Nanocavities in the Visible
Kelley Rivoire, Andrei Faraon, Jelena Vuckovic
Photonic crystal nanocavities at visible wavelengths are fabricated in a high refractive index (n>3.2) gallium phosphide membrane. The cavities are probed via a cross-polarized ref…
Spontaneous emission control in high-extraction efficiency plasmonic crystals
Hideo Iwase, Dirk Englund, Jelena Vuckovic
We experimentally and theoretically investigate exciton-field coupling for the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) in waveguide-confined (WC) anti-symmetric modes of hexagonal plasmoni…
Local tuning of photonic crystal cavities using chalcogenide glasses
Andrei Faraon, Dirk Englund, Douglas Bulla +5
We demonstrate a method to locally change the refractive index in planar optical devices by photodarkening of a thin chalcogenide glass layer deposited on top of the device. The me…
Genetic Optimization of Photonic Bandgap Structures
Joel Goh, Ilya Fushman, Dirk Englund +1
We investigate the use of a Genetic Algorithm (GA) to design a set of photonic crystals (PCs) in one and two dimensions. Our flexible design methodology allows us to optimize PC st…
