Journal ArticleDOI

Monolithic microfabricated valves and pumps by multilayer soft lithography

TL;DR: An extension to the soft lithography paradigm, multilayersoft lithography, with which devices consisting of multiple layers may be fabricated from soft materials is described, to build active microfluidic systems containing on-off valves, switching valves, and pumps entirely out of elastomer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two-Dimensional Photonic Band-Gap Defect Mode Laser

TL;DR: A laser cavity formed from a single defect in a two-dimensional photonic crystal is demonstrated and pulsed lasing action has been observed at a wavelength of 1.5 micrometers from optically pumped devices with a substrate temperature of 143 kelvin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vacuum Rabi splitting with a single quantum dot in a photonic crystal nanocavity

TL;DR: The experimental realization of a strongly coupled system in the solid state is reported: a single quantum dot embedded in the spacer of a nanocavity, showing vacuum-field Rabi splitting exceeding the decoherence linewidths of both the nanoc Cavity and the quantum dot.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coupled-resonator optical waveguide:?a proposal and analysis

TL;DR: The relations for the dispersion and the group velocity of the photonic band of the CROW's are obtained and it is found that they are solely characterized by coupling factor k(1) .
Journal ArticleDOI

Surface-Plasmon-Enhanced Light Emitters Based on InGaN Quantum Wells

TL;DR: The results indicate that the use of SPs would lead to a new class of very bright LEDs, and highly efficient solid-state light sources.
