Journal ArticleDOI
Silicon-based two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguides
Cecile Jamois,Ralf B. Wehrspohn,Ralf B. Wehrspohn,Lucio Claudio Andreani,Christian Hermann,Ortwin Hess,Ulrich Gösele +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the properties of silicon-based two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystals is given, essentially infinite 2D photonic materials made from macroporous silicon and photonic crystal slabs based on silicon-on-insulator basis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface plasmon polaritons in generalized slab heterostructures with negative permittivity and permeability
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed analytical study of surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) eigenmodes in generalized asymmetric slab waveguides with a core of negative permittivity and permeability is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modified spontaneous-emission rate in an inverted-opal structure with complete photonic bandgap
Christian Hermann,Ortwin Hess +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a finite three-dimensional photonic-crystal structure with a complete photonic bandgap was shown to drastically modify the spontaneous-emission rate of an embedded dipole.
Journal ArticleDOI
Double-Inverse-Opal Photonic Crystals: The Route to Photonic Bandgap Switching†
TL;DR: In this article, double-inverse-opal photonic crystals (DIOPCs) are introduced as a new kind of optical switch, where a movable, weakly scattering sphere is embedded within each pore of the inverse-opal lattice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Finite-Difference Time-Domain simulations of photonic crystal defect structures
TL;DR: In this article, an overview of the Finite Difference Difference Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method and its application to modeling photonic crystal defect structures is given. And the application of the FDTD method for calculation of band structures and the 3D Bloch eigenmodes of photonic slab structures and photonic fiber is discussed as well as the simulation of the propagation of an ultrashort optical pulse through a photonic cyrstal defect structure.
