Periodic structures with a sub‐wavelength pitch have been known since Hertz conducted his
first experiments on the polarization of electromagnetic waves. While the use of these …

In contrast to a conventional symmetric Lorentzian resonance, Fano resonance is
predominantly used to describe asymmetric-shaped resonances, which arise from the …

Dielectric and metallic gratings have been studied for more than a century. Nevertheless,
novel optical phenomena and fabrication techniques have emerged recently and have …

Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) consist of a gain medium in which feedback
is generally accomplished by two distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs), for which sufficient …

We experimentally demonstrate an optically‐pumped III‐V/Si vertical‐cavity laser with lateral
emission into a silicon waveguide. This on‐chip hybrid laser comprises a distributed Bragg …

Integrated Lasers on Silicon provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art use
of lasers on silicon for photonic integration. The authors demonstrate the need for efficient …

A widely-tunable single-mode 1.3 μm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser structure
incorporating a microelectromechanical system-tunable high-index-contrast subwavelength …

A novel architecture of one-dimensional photonic crystal membrane (PCM) reflectors
embodying a heterostructure is proposed as a robust design aimed at a 3-D efficient …

Photonic crystals, artificial, wavelength-scale multidimensional periodic structures, have
given birth to a number of realizations in semiconductors. Photonic integrated circuits …

It is emphasized that two‐dimensional photonic crystals (2D PC) have not only a great
potential for the development of 2D nanophotonics in the inplane waveguided configuration …
