Toward the formation of crossed laser-induced periodic surface structures

Jean-Luc Déziel, Joey Dumont, Denis Gagnon +3

The formation of a new type of laser-induced periodic surface structures using a femtosecond pulsed laser is studied on the basis of the Sipe-Drude theory solved with a FDTD scheme…

Optimization of integrated polarization filters

Denis Gagnon, Joey Dumont, Jean-Luc Déziel +1

This study reports on the design of small footprint, integrated polarization filters based on engineered photonic lattices. Using a rods-in-air lattice as a basis for a TE filter a…

Ab initio investigation of lasing thresholds in photonic molecules

Denis Gagnon, Joey Dumont, Jean-Luc Déziel +1

We investigate lasing thresholds in a representative photonic molecule composed of two coupled active cylinders of slightly different radii. Specifically, we use the recently formu…

Multiobjective optimization in integrated photonics design

Denis Gagnon, Joey Dumont, Louis J. Dubé

We propose the use of the parallel tabu search algorithm (PTS) to solve combinatorial inverse design problems in integrated photonics. To assess the potential of this algorithm, we…

S and Q Matrices Reloaded: applications to open, inhomogeneous, and complex cavities

Guillaume Painchaud-April, Joey Dumont, Denis Gagnon +1

We present a versatile numerical algorithm for computing resonances of open dielectric cavities. The emphasis is on the generality of the system's configuration, i.e. the geometry…

Beam shaping using genetically optimized two-dimensional photonic crystals

Denis Gagnon, Joey Dumont, Louis J. Dubé

We propose the use of two-dimensional photonic crystals with engineered defects for the generation of an arbitrary-profile beam from a focused input beam. The cylindrical harmonics…
