The transmission and processing of signals carried by optical beams rather than by
electrical currents or radio waves has been a topic of great interest ever since the early …

In this paper, a triangular two-dimensional photonic crystal (PhC) of As 2 Se 3-chalcogenide
rods in air is presented and its photonic band diagram is calculated by plane wave method …

In the present paper, recent advances in the design and fabrication of optical memories
based on photonic crystal structure have been reviewed. One of the most important optical …

In the paper, a novel three-port channel drop filter in two dimensional photonic crystals (2D
PCs) with a wavelength-selective reflection micro-cavity is proposed. In the structure, two …

The realisation of a thermo-optically controlled symmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer
switch based on an AlGaAs/GaAs epitaxial waveguide structure operating at wavelengths in …

In this paper, the idea of an all-optical photonic crystal memory cell based on a cavity with a
hysteresis feature as a function of two independent variables is introduced. A two …

We demonstrate that the fundamental mode of the two coupled photonic crystal waveguides
(PCWs) can be odd parity in a triangular photonic crystal and their dispersion curves do …

We propose a novel geometry for a Mach-Zehnder interferometer in which one arm of the
interferometer consists of serially coupled microresonators and the other a simple ridge …

We present a rigorous Bloch mode scattering matrix method for modeling two-dimensional
photonic crystal structures and discuss the formal properties of the formulation. Reciprocity …

Quantum computers require technologies that offer both sufficient control over coherent
quantum phenomena and minimal spurious interactions with the environment. We argue …
