광결정(photonic crystal)은 서로 다른 유전체가 규칙적으로 배열되어 있는 구조로서, 빛이 진행할 수 없는 진동수 영역인 광밴드갭(photonic bandgap)이 존재한다. 광밴드갭 특성으로 빛의 자발 방출과 진행 방향이 조절될 수 있기 때문에, 광결정은 나노 레이저, 광도파관, LED(Light Emitting Diode) 등의 광소자 개발에 응용되고 있다. 지금까지 2차원, 3차원의 광결정에 대한 많은 연구가 수행되어 왔으며, 현재에는 2차원의 슬랩(slab) 구조에 대해 활발하게 연구되고 있다. (중략)

Chiral liquid crystals exhibit band-gap structures responsive to electrical and optical fields, providing wide-ranging opportunities for photonics applications. We discuss three aspects of this technology: optics of chiral nematic devices and removal of pitch jumps; optical switching of chiral nematic materials; and using novel phases in photonic devices.

편광유지 광결정 광섬유를 이용하여 무게센서를 제작하여 실험을 하였다. 본 논문의 센서시스템은 3 dB 커플러, 반파장판, 광원으로 구성되어진다. 무게가 편광유지 광결정 광섬유에 가해지면 파장이동을 측정한다. 센서감지부로 원형형태와 직선형태의 2 종류로 제작하여 특성을 조사하였다. 직선형태로 이루어진 센서의 감도는 680 pm/kg 였으며, 원형형태로 구성된 센서의 감도는 270 pm/kg 이었다. 두 가지 형태로 제작된 센서는 선형성이 좋았으며, 감도는 직선형태로 이루어진 센서가 좋음을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, we implemented a polarimetric strain sensor using a Sagnac birefringence interferometer composed of a polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber (PM-PCF). By changing the length of the PM-PCF employed as the sensor head of the proposed sensor, the length dependence of the strain sensitivity was investigated. With respect to 5.0-, 7.5-, and 10.0-cm-long PM-PCFs, strain measurements were done in a measurement range of $0{\sim}6m{\varepsilon}$, and strain sensitivities of ~2.04, ~1.92, and ${\sim}1.73pm/{\mu}{\varepsilon}$ were obtained, respectively. If an ideal PM-PCF with no length dependence of a modal birefringence is used for the proposed sensor, the strain sensitivity is independent of the length of the sensor head (PM-PCF). In the practical PM-PCF used in experiments, however, a shorter PM-PCF has a higher length dependence of the modal birefringence due to its imperfectness and nonuniformity of the internal structure, resulting in a higher length dependence of the strain sensitivity.

Various studies with regard to increasing the optical efficiency of plasmonic color filters have previously been conducted, such as mixing materials or applying diverse pattern shapes. Fundamentally, it is important to maximize the photonic crystal effect by finding the optimum periods of lattice as well as calculating the most efficient transmission area. In this study, we propose a technical method for optimizing the plasmonic color filters that have a high color gamut and luminance by analyzing the light spectrums based on the 1931 color coordinate system. Moreover, we suggest a calculation method in order to define the individual color purity of red and green and blue filters. Consequently, efficiency values are obtained independently from each color filter by evaluating the color purity and the luminance. The final result obtained from simulation are 27.6% of relative luminance and 25.3% of color gamut. The proposed optimization method is applicable to all plasmonic color filters having photonic crystal arrays.

We demonstrate the blue InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with an embedded air-gap photonic crystal (PC) which was fabricated by the lateral epitaxial overgrowth of GaN layer on the tungsten (W) nano-masks. The periodic air-gap PC was formed by the chemical reaction of hydrogen with GaN on the W nano-mask. The optical output power of LEDs with an air-gap PC was increased by 26% compared to LEDs without an air-gap PC. The enhanced optical output power was attributed to the improvement in internal quantum efficiency and light extraction efficiency by the air-gap PC embedded in GaN layer.

It is widely accepted that short exciton diffusion lengths of organic semiconductors with respect to the film thickness limit the charge (hole and electron) separation before excitons recombination in organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells. Therefore the efficient absorption of incident light within the thin active organic layer is of great importance to improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the cells. In this work, we fabricated 2-dimensionally (2D) nano-patterned poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOST:PSS) layers using capillary phenomenon and nano-imprinting technology at the scale of several hundred nanometers. This 2D nano-patterned PEDOT:PSS layer exerted photonic crystal effect such as redirection of light paths and variation of light intensity at specified wavelengths. It is also expected that the consequently alternated light pass lengths and intensities change the absorption properties of zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) thin films grown on top of the nano-patterned PEDOT:PSS layer. The influence of conductivity and thickness of the PEDOT:PSS layer on the absorption properties of ZnPc thin films were also investigated.

본 논문은 광자 결정 광섬유에서 100 fs의 펄스 폭을 갖는 펌프 광원의 파장과 입력파워에 따른 초 광대역 광원 생성에 대해 실험적으로 연구하였다. 적절한 파라미터들을 조절함으로써 광 스펙트럼 진폭의 균일함이 10 dB 이내에서 약 750 nm의 스펙트럼 폭을 갖는 초 광대역 광원을 얻어냈다. 사용한 광자 결정 광섬유의 길이는 2 m였고, 펌프광원으로는 모드 록킹된 Ti:Sapphire laser를 사용하였다. 또한, 펌프 광원의 여러 가지 변수들을 바꿔줌으로써 초 광대역 광원의 다양한 스펙트럼 현상을 조절할 수 있었다.

In this study we propose a new photonic crystal fiber (PCF) design that simultaneously offers broadband single-mode operation, high birefringence, and large normal dispersion in the optical-communication wavelength regime. The waveguide is based on a hybrid square-lattice PCF (HS-PCF) that has circular air holes of two different diameters alternating in the cladding, plus a pure silica defect at the center. The optical properties of the guided modes are analyzed numerically by the finite-element method (FEM) with a perfectly matched layer as the boundary condition. The optimized HS-PCF has a dispersion coefficient of $-601.67\;ps\;nm^{-1}\;km^{-1}$ and a high birefringence of $1.025{\times}10^{-2}$ at $1.55{\mu}m$. In addition, over the S+C+L+U wavelength bands the proposed HS-PCF with ultraflat birefringence with a slope on the order of $10^{-5}$.
