Compact Optical Waveguides Based on Hybrid Index and Surface-Plasmon-Polariton Guidance Mechanisms
Surface-plasmon-polariton (SPP) waveguides made of materials available in nature have, in general, been found to suffer from very high absorption loss when light confinement is beyond diffraction limit.

Experimental Verification of Degenerate Band Edge Dispersion in Silicon Photonic Integrated Circuits
On resonance, periodic dielectric media of finite length exhibit large and distributed internal electric field distributions. The large and distributed fields have been exploited for applications in light emission, optical switching, and nonlinear optics.

Low-loss singlemode PECVD silicon nitride photonic wire waveguides for 532-900 nm wavelength window fabricated within a CMOS pilot line [PDF]
PECVD silicon nitride photonic wire waveguides have been fabricated in a CMOS pilot line. Both clad and unclad single mode wire waveguides were measured at lambda = 532, 780, and 900 nm, respectively. The dependence of loss on wire width, wavelength, and

TE/TM-Pass Polarizer Based on Lithium Niobate on Insulator Ridge Waveguide
We propose a TE/TM-pass polarizer based on a shallow X-cut lithium niobate-on-insulator (LNOI) ridge waveguide. In shallow X-cut LNOI ridge waveguides, the leaky mode is interchanged between TE and TM polarization waves depending on the ridge waveguide ...

Diamond photonics platform enabled by femtosecond laser writing [PDF]
We demonstrate the first buried optical waveguides in diamond using focused femtosecond laser pulses. The properties of nitrogen vacancy centers are preserved in the waveguides, making them promising for diamond-based magnetometers or quantum information
