Since the advent of quantum mechanics and the clear demonstration of the existence
of'matter waves', physicists have never failed to take advantage of concepts and theoretical …

We propose and demonstrate an all-optical wavelength routing approach that uses a tuning
mechanism based upon the optical gradient force in a specially designed nano …

We demonstrate highly efficient evanescent coupling between a highly nonlinear
chalcogenide glass two dimensional photonic crystal waveguide and a silica fiber nanowire …

We describe progress in the field of tuning,(re) configuration of Photonic crystal (PhC) based
devices with a particular emphasis on our recent concepts and techniques that we have …

We demonstrate resonant guiding in a chalcogenide glass photonic crystal membrane. We
observe strong resonances in the optical transmission spectra at normal incidence …

We report a simple post-process technique that harnesses a hybrid chalcogenide/silicon-
germanium system for the control of waveguide dispersion. By adding a chalcogenide top …

We experimentally demonstrate excitability in a semiconductor two-dimensional photonic
crystal. Excitability is a nonlinear dynamical mechanism underlying pulselike responses to …

We demonstrate experimentally all-optical bistable operation in an InP-based two-
dimensional photonic crystal slab lying on top of a Bragg reflector. Bistability is obtained …

Quantum photonic integrated circuits hold great potential as a novel class of semiconductor
technologies that exploit the evolution of a quantum state of light to manipulate information …

We present theoretical and experimental results on switching and tuning of a two-
dimensional photonic crystal resonant microcavity by means of a silicon AFM tip, probing the …
