Mechanically Tunable Negative-Index Photonic Crystal Lens
We report the microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-enabled mechanically tunable negative-index photonic crystal lens, which was comprised of 2-D photonic crystal and symmetrical electro-thermal actuators. The 2-D photonic crystal was made of a honeycomb

Efficient input and output fiber coupling to a photonic crystal waveguide [PDF]
The efficiency of evanescent coupling between a silica optical fiber taper and a silicon photonic crystal waveguide is studied. A high reflectivity mirror on the end of the photonic crystal waveguide is used to recollect, in the backwards propagating ...

Propagation of Light in Photonic Crystal Fibre Devices
We describe a semi-analytical approach for three-dimensional analysis of photonic crystal fibre devices. The approach relies on modal transmission-line theory. We offer two examples illustrating the utilization of this approach in photonic crystal fibres:

Local temperature control of photonic crystal devices via micron-scale electrical heaters [PDF]
We demonstrate a method to locally control the temperature of photonic crystal devices via micron-scale electrical heaters. The method is used to control the resonant frequency of InAs quantum dots strongly coupled to GaAs photonic crystal resonators ...

Room temperature continuous wave operation of single-mode, edge-emitting photonic crystal Bragg lasers [PDF]
We report the first room temperature CW operation of two dimensional single-mode edge-emitting photonic crystal Bragg lasers. Single-mode lasing with single-lobed, diffraction limited far-fields is obtained for 100μm wide and 550μm long on-chip devices ...

Photon confinement in photonic crystal nanocavities [PDF]
AbstractThe quest for enhanced light‐matter interactions has enabled a tremendous increase in the performance of photonic‐crystal nanoresonators in the past decade. State‐of‐the‐art nanocavities now offer mode lifetime in the nanosecond range with confinement volumes of a few hundredths of a cubic micrometer.
