Zinc Oxide Nanophotonics

open access: yesNanophotonics, 2015
The emerging field of nanophotonics initiated a dedicated study of single photon sources and optical resonators in new class of materials. One such material is zinc oxide (ZnO) that has been long considered only for classical light-emitting

Multiple light scattering and optomechanical forces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
When off-resonant light travels through a transparent medium, light scattering is the primary optical process to occur. Multiple-particle events are relatively rare in optically dilute systems: scattering generally takes place at individual atomic or ...

Silicon-on-insulator photonic crystal miniature devices with slow light enhanced third-order nonlinearities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The effects of the slow-down factor on third-order nonlinear effects in silicon-on-insulator photonic crystal channel waveguides were investigated. In the slow light regime, with a group index equal to 99, these nonlinear effects are enhanced but the ...
