Nature has long inspired scientists and engineers. As one ubiquitous example of this, nature
has provided all with several clever methods to absorb, repel, and/or allow both sunlight and …

A comprehensive review considering recent advances in self‐collimation and its
applications in optical integration is covered in the current article. Self‐collimation is …

We present a 2D photonic crystal system for interacting with cold cesium (Cs) atoms. The
band structures of the 2D photonic crystals are predicted to produce unconventional atom …

This paper addresses the problem of a photonic crystal (PhC) superprism design for coarse
wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) application. The proposed solution consists in …

An efficient backbone is introduced for optical integrated circuits at Mid-IR region using PbTe
(n PbTe∼ 6) as the background material in a hole-type 2D square lattice photonic crystal in …

A novel concept of polarization beam splitting with high polarization extinction ratio is
proposed based on the polarization sensitive self-collimation feature of symmetry reduced …

Photonic crystals (PhCs) are well-known band gap materials that can block the propagation
of electromagnetic waves within certain frequency regimes. Here, we demonstrate that PhCs …

A two-dimensional photonic crystal asymmetric Mach-Zehnder filter (AMZF) based on the
self-collimation effect is studied by numerical simulations and experimental measurements …

The frequency bands for self-collimation at both TE and TM polarizations in square lattice
annular photonic crystals are studied systematically by plane-wave expansion and finite …

In this paper a novel photonic crystal (PC) phase comparator is proposed. The proposed
structure can be used in a PC Mach–Zehnder as the signal adder section to improve its …
