Giant Birefringence of Periodic Dielectric Waveguides
IEEE Photonics Journal, 2011 The giant (Δn >; 1.5) and broadband achromatic birefringence is realized by periodic dielectric waveguides (PDWs), which benefit from low loss transmission, compact size, and simple structure.

Nonlocal response in plasmonic waveguiding with extreme light confinement
Nanophotonics, 2013 We present a novel wave equation for linearized plasmonic response, obtained by combining the coupled real-space differential equations for the electric field and current density.

A Novel Photonic Material for Designing Arbitrarily Shaped Waveguides in Two Dimensions [PDF]
, 2003 We investigate numerically optical properties of novel two-dimensional photonic materials where parallel dielectric rods are randomly placed with the restriction that the distance between rods is larger than a certain value. A large complete photonic gap

Design of waveguides, bends and splitters in photonic crystal slabs with hexagonal holes in a triangular lattice [PDF]
, 2005 Waveguides in photonic crystal slabs (PCS) can be obtained by omitting a row of holes (W1-waveguides). In general the propagation properties in such waveguides suffer from the unavoidable periodic sidewall corrugation caused by the remaining parts of the

Surface plasmon polariton modes in coaxial metal-dielectric-metal waveguides
New Journal of Physics, 2016 We explore the optical properties of a coaxial plasmonic metamaterial consisting of hollow dielectric cylinders with a diameter of 100–250 nm and a ring wall width of 10–50 nm, embedded in metal.

Dielectric Sensors Based on Electromagnetic Energy Tunneling
Sensors, 2015 We show that metallic wires embedded in narrow waveguide bends and channels demonstrate resonance behavior at specific frequencies. The electromagnetic energy at these resonances tunnels through the narrow waveguide channels with almost no propagation ...

Bioabsorbable polymer optical waveguides for deep-tissue photomedicine
Nature Communications, 2016 Advances in photonics have stimulated significant progress in medicine, with many techniques now in routine clinical use. However, the finite depth of light penetration in tissue is a serious constraint to clinical utility. Here we show implantable light-

New silicon photonics integration platform enabled by novel micron-scale bends
, 2013 Even though submicron silicon waveguides have been proposed for dense integration of photonic devices, to date the lightwave circuits on the market mainly rely on waveguides with micron-scale core dimensions.
