In this paper, the authors describe the development of metamaterials for the optical frequency range, which are extending what is physically possible and helping to push the boundaries of nanophotonics.
Abstract
Photonic crystal and photonic wire structures are being produced using a variety of techniques and form a challenging area of research activity. Metamaterials for the optical frequency range are extending what is physically possible and helping to push the boundaries of nanophotonics.

Low-loss propagation in photonic crystal waveguides

TL;DR: In this article, the fabrication and characterisation of high-quality silicon membrane photonic crystals are reported, and the etching process is carefully optimized to give holes with very smooth and vertical sidewalls, resulting in propagation, with a minimum loss of 4.1 plusmn 0.9 dB/cm in a single line defect (W1) waveguide.

Template-Assisted Growth of Nominally Cubic (100)-Oriented Three-Dimensional Crack-Free Photonic Crystals

TL;DR: This work demonstrates a technology for the fabrication of (100)-oriented thin film 3D opal PhCs that exhibit no cracks over areas having no intrinsic size limit via a modified template-assisted colloidal self-assembly approach onto a patterned substrate.

Modelling of photonic wire bragg gratings

TL;DR: In this article, a generalisation of the full-width gap grating has been modelled using 3D finite-difference time-domain simulations, and the accuracy of two distinct 2D computational models based on the effective index method has also been studied -because of their inherently much greater rapidity and consequent utility for approximate initial designs.

Power and polarization beam-splitters, mirrors, and integrated interferometers based on air-hole photonic crystals and lateral large index-contrast waveguides

TL;DR: Air hole 2D photonic crystals (PhC) and air slots have been used in association with semiconductor ridge waveguides to produce highly compact beam-splitters for power or polarization separators and mirrors.

Compact and integrated 2-D photonic crystal super-prism filter-device for wavelength demultiplexing applications.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates the simultaneous operation of two photonic devices for de-multiplexing applications on a single platform that could be useful in future Photonic Crystal Integrated Circuits (PCICs).
