The nanoscale control afforded by scanning probe microscopes has prompted the
development of a wide variety of scanning-probe-based patterning methods. Some of these …

Force microscopy enables a variety of approaches to manipulate and/or modify surfaces.
Few of those methods have evolved into advanced probe-based lithographies. Oxidation …

Photonic integration has long been pursued, but remains immature compared with
electronics. Nanophotonics is expected to change this situation. However, despite the recent …

Subwavelength semiconductor nanowires have recently attracted interest for photonic
applications because they possess various unique optical properties and offer great …

Tip-based nanofabrication (TBN) is a family of emerging nanofabrication techniques that use
a nanometer scale tip to fabricate nanostructures. In this review, we first introduce the history …

Here we report the successful demonstration of lasing oscillation in a subwavelength
semiconductor nanowire (100 nm in diameter) at telecom wavelengths. Although a …

We demonstrated 32-channel drop filters with 100 GHz spacing consisting of arrayed
nanocavities and a waveguide in a photonic crystal silicon slab. Changing the lattice …

We have studied the feasibility of extending the operating wavelength range of high-Q
silicon nanocavities above and below the 1.55 μm wavelength band, while maintaining Q …

Photonic crystal technology, which was initially proposed as a way to realize nanoscale
nanocavities and nanowaveguides, is now finding applications as a surface interface layer …

Optomechanical crystals are a promising device platform for quantum transduction and
sensing. Precise targeting of the optical and acoustic resonance frequencies of these …
