Previous studies to enhance optical properties of opto-electronic devices involve patterning of inorganic materials. Patterning of inorganic material usually encompasses vacuum process that hinders productivity and increases cost. In this research, we successfully formed nano patterns with polymer matrix and fabricated photonic crystals. This process is anticipated to increase the performance of opto-electronic devices without any vacuum process. Moreover, nano imprint technology reduces cost and bolsters productivity.

유전율이 서로 다른 물질을 나노 크기로 주기적으로 배열하여 황자 띠간격(Photonic bandgap)을 이루게 하는 광결정(Photonic crystal)에 인위적인 결함을 부가하여 광파워 분배 및 Mux/Demux 등 광회로 기능 수행을 할 수 있도록 집적화한 광도파로 소자가 미래형 정보통신사회를 위한 초고집적화, 초고속화, 저전력 및 신기능 등의 특성을 위하여 요구된다. 이러한 나노 광결정 소자는 다양한 방법으로 제작이 시도되고 있는데, 나노 임프린트 기술은 실장밀도가 높으며, 수십 나노급의 패턴이 주기적으로 배열된 구조물의 성형에 큰 장점이 있어서 본 연구에서 다루어졌다.(중략)

광결정(photonic crystal)은 주기적인 유전율 차이를 가지고 있는 인공적인 광학 물질이다. 그래서 이러한 광결정을 지나가는 전자기파는 마치 반도체와 같은 밴드갭을 가지게 된다. 우리는 silica nanosphere를 사용해서 자연의 보석 중, opal과 유사한 3차원 fcc(face-centered cubic) structure를 가지는 광결정을 만들었다. 평평한 유리기판을 용액에 수직으로 담근 후, 용액을 상온에서 증발시키면 자기 조립 방법(self-assembly method)으로 광결정이 만들어진다. (중략)

By using transfer matrix method, the transmittance of 1D-superconductingdielectric photonic crystals (1D-SPCs) was calculated. The variance of the intensity and the bandwidth of the transmission are strongly dependent on the thicknesses, temperatures, and number of periods. We, also, obtained a new behavior at different critical temperatures of superconductor materials.

Large absorption band shift has been observed for the azo-dye (disperse red-13, DR-13) attached on the surface of silica spheres. Urethane linkage has been utilized to form covalent bond between azo-dye (-OH) and 3-isocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane (ICPTES, -N=C=O). The synthesized ICPTES-DR-13 (ICPDR) molecules were attached to the silica spheres by the hydrolysis and condensation reaction. Although the absorption peak of DR-13 in methanol is at 510 nm, the absorption peak of the ICPDR-silica spheres shifts to 788 nm. The large absorption peak shift is due to the formation of intramolecular charge-transfer band with large aggregated ICPDR.

We numerically investigate by the finite-difference time-domain method the effects of surface termination on directional emission exiting a photonic crystal waveguide. The directed power and far-field beam profile for the original proposal [E. Moreno et al., Phys. Rev. B 69, 121402 (2004)] and its enhancement [S. K. Morrison et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 86, 081110 (2005)] are computed for different values of some important parameters. We find another surface termination condition with a positive surface displacement in the structure of the original proposal which has a negative surface displacement. Our surface termination is more effective than the original structure, and nearly as effective as the termination for the enhancement, for directional emission. Besides, our termination is simpler than that for the enhancement. We confirm the effectiveness of directional emission from our termination in its far-field beam profile, radiation intensity distribution, and additionally the wave-vector space representation by the Fourier analysis.

Two-dimensionally arrayed nanocolumn lattices were fabricated by using double-exposure laser holographic method. The hexagonal lattice was formed by rotating the sample with 60 degree while the square lattice by 90 degree before the second laser-exposure. The reactive ion etching for a typical time of 30 min using CH$_4$/H$_2$ plasma enhanced the aspect-ratio by more than 1.5 with a slight increase of the bottom width of columns. The etch-damage was observed by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy which was removed by the wet chemical etching using HBr/$H_2O$$_2$/$H_2O$ solution, leading into the enhanced PL intensities of the PCs.

This paper presents an efficient evolutionary method to optimize the gain ripple of multi-pumps photonic crystal fiber Raman amplifier using the Fuzzy Adaptive Modified PSO (FAMPSO) algorithm. The original PSO has difficulties in premature convergence, performance and the diversity loss in optimization as well as appropriate tuning of its parameters. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed hybrid algorithm is demonstrated and results are compared with the PSO algorithm. It is shown that FAMPSO has a high quality solution, superior convergence characteristics and shorter computation time.

We report design and simulation of a two-dimensional (2D) silicon-based nanophotonic crystal as an optical insulator to enhance the light emission efficiency of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The device was designed in a manner that a triangular array silicon photonic crystal light insulator has a square trench in the middle where LED can be placed. By varying the normalized radius in the range of 0.3-0.5 using plane wave expansion method (PWEM), we found that the normalized radius of 0.45 creates a large band gap for transverse electric (TE) polarization. Subsequently a series of light propagation simulation were carried out using 2D and three-dimensional (3D) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD). The designed silicon-based light insulator device shows optical characteristics of a region in which light propagation was forbidden in the horizontal plane for TE light with most of the visible light spectrum in the wavelength range of 450 nm to 600 nm.
