This paper presents a comprehensive review of the literature and trends on the design of
periodic microstructural composite materials including photonic crystals (PtCs), phononic …

The great interest in photonic crystals and their applications in the last 15 years is being
expressed in the publishing of a large number of monographs, collections, textbooks and …

The usual Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model with an even number of lattice sites possesses two
degenerate zero-energy modes. The degeneracy of the zero-energy modes leads to the …

This review article is concerned with basic aspects and some selected topics in photonic
crystal (PhC) devices. It starts with a significantly historical aspect of basic principles for …

Volumetric integrated optical micro-and nanosystems are becoming the new frontier in
photonics. Fine control over the material structure within a volume enables novel physical …

A novel polarization beam splitter using a two-layer grating coupler is proposed and
demonstrated. It can directly couple the normally incident light from fiber into two separate …

Polarization management is of paramount importance in integrated optics, particularly for
highly birefringent photonic platforms such as silicon-on-insulator. In this paper, we present …

Herein, we presented a novel design of polarization beam splitter (PBS) based on the
integration of heterostructure 2D-Photonic crystals (PhCs). Two PhC structures, namely PhC …

Nanophotonic polarization routers, which can separate and steer light with different
polarizations of transverse electric and transverse magnetic modes into different output …

The polarization beam splitter (PBS) is the essential optical component, which is widely
used in various optical instruments. Its robustness against perturbation is very necessary to …
