Sub-picosecond all-optical switching in a hybrid VO2:silicon waveguide at 1550 nm
Kent A. Hallman, Kevin J. Miller, Andrey Baydin +2
Achieving ultrafast all-optical switching in a silicon waveguide geometry is a key milestone on the way to an integrated platform capable of handling the increasing demands for hig…
Guided Mid-IR and Near-IR Light within a Hybrid Hyperbolic-Material/Silicon Waveguide Heterostructure
Mingze He, Sami I. Halimi, Thomas G. Folland +6
Silicon waveguides have enabled large-scale manipulation and processing of near-infrared optical signals on chip. Yet, expanding the bandwidth of guided waves to other frequencies…
Camera detection and modal fingerprinting of photonic crystal nanobeam resonances
Francis O. Afzal, Joshua M. Petrin, Sharon M. Weiss
We demonstrate in simulation and experiment that the out-of-plane, far-field scattering profile of resonance modes in photonic crystal nanobeam (PCN) cavities can be used to identi…
Efficient side-coupling to photonic crystal nanobeam cavities via state-space overlap
Francis O. Afzal, Sami I. Halimi, Sharon M. Weiss
We present design guidelines for realizing side-coupled photonic crystal nanobeam (PCN) cavities with efficient coupling to low order resonances through adjusting the overlap of th…
Experimental Realization of Deep Subwavelength Confinement in Dielectric Optical Resonators
S. Hu, M. Khater, R. Salas-Montiel +4
The ability to highly localize light with strong electric field enhancement is critical for enabling higher efficiency solar cells, light sources, and modulators. While deep subwav…
Low mode volume slotted photonic crystal single nanobeam cavity
Judson D. Ryckman, S. M. Weiss
We present and experimentally demonstrate a slotted photonic crystal single nanobeam cavity in silicon. The slot geometry is exploited to achieve ultra-small effective mode volumes…
