We review the different types of dispersion engineered photonic crystal waveguides that have been developed for slow light applications. We introduce the group index bandwidth …
A lattice of optical ring resonators can exhibit a topological insulator phase, with the role of spin played by the direction of propagation of light within each ring. Unlike the system …
The current trend in silicon photonics towards higher levels of integration as well as the model of using CMOS foundries for fabrication are leading to a need for standardization of …
Electromagnetic filtering is essential for emerging integrated photonic technologies and widely adaptable processing of high‐bandwidth signals. The conventional electro‐optic …
The ability to rapidly switch between orbital angular momentum modes of light has important implications for future classical and quantum systems. In general, orbital angular momentum …
In this paper, we report a direct comparison between coupled resonator optical waveguides (CROWs) and photonic crystal waveguides (PhCWs), which have both been exploited as …
Slow light devices such as photonic crystal waveguides (PhCW) and coupled resonator optical waveguides (CROW) have much promise for optical signal processing applications …
A century after the first optical cavity, coupled resonator optical waveguides (CROWs) were conceived as a new way to guide light on a photonic chip. Controlling chains of coupled …
We report on the direct observation of backscattering induced by sidewall roughness in high- index-contrast optical waveguides based on total internal reflection. Our results demonstrate …
