Photonic crystal solar cells have the potential for addressing the disparate length scales in polymer photovoltaic materials, thereby confronting the major challenge in solar cell technology: efficiency. One must achieve simultaneously an efficient absorption of photons with effective carrier extraction. Unfortunately the two processes have opposing requirements. Efficient absorption of light calls for thicker PV active layers whereas carrier transport always benefits from thinner ones, and this dichotomy is at the heart of an efficiency/cost conundrum that has kept solar energy expensive relative to fossil fuels. This dichotomy persists over the entire solar spectrum but increasingly so near a semiconductor's band edge where absorption is weak. We report a 2-D, photonic crystal morphology that enhances the efficiency of organic photovoltaic cells relative to conventional planar cells. The morphology is developed by patterning an organic photoactive bulk heterojunction blend of Poly(3-(2-methyl-2-hexylcarboxylate) thiophene-co-thiophene) and PCBM via PRINT, a nano-embossing method that lends itself to large area fabrication of nanostructures. The photonic crystal cell morphology increases photocurrents generally, and particularly through the excitation of resonant modes near the band edge of the organic PV material. The device performance of the photonic crystal cell showed a nearly doubled increase in efficiency relative to conventional planar cell designs. Photonic crystals can also enhance performance of other optoelectronic devices including organic laser.

This study investigated the effects of the substrate and powder content on the fabrication of SiO$_{2}$ photonic crystals by evaporation method. Photonic crystals were self-assembled on quartz, Corning 1737 glass, slide glass, and ITa glass to verify the effects of the wetting angle and surface morphology. The powder contents of the solution were varied from 0.2 to 2.0 wt$\%$. The number of photonic crystal layers increased according to the decrease of wetting angle and surface roughness. The resultant photonic crystals showed the best optical characteristics when the number of photonic crystal layers was within 40 and 50. In addition, the intensity peak of Fabry¡?Perot fringes increased when the wetting angle was large and the particle size was small. Photonic crystals coated on ITO glass showed the highest reflectance peak of 63$\%$ relative intensity.

Photonic crystal (PC) has special interests for their promising applications in three-dimensional photon control and integrated devices. In a nonlinear photonic crystal (NPC), optical intensity in a defect layer is greatly increased due to the location function of NPC and nonlinearity. The nonliearity of the defect layer is very much enhanced because the group velocity is reduced and the interaction time between light and nonlinear medium in the defect layer is enlarged. (omitted)

Luminescent films were prepared by infiltration of tris(dibenzoylmethane) mono(1, 10-phenanthroline) europium incorporated ormosil into colloidal $SiO_2$ photonic crystal templates. The PL intensity of the infiltrated film into the template was about 13 times higher than that of the plane film prepared without the template.

We propose a photonic quasi-crystal fiber (PQF) for supporting up to 14 orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes with low and ultra-flat dispersion characteristics over the C+L bands. The designed PQF which consists of a large hollow center and quasi structural small air holes in the clad region exhibits low confinement losses and a large effective index separation (>$10^{-4}$) between the vector modes. This proposed fiber could potentially be exploited for mode division multiplexing and other OAM mode applications in fibers.

We fabricated new one-dimensional magnetophotonic crystal (1D-MPC) utilizing the second and third photonic band gaps where localized modes existed. Structure of the 1D-MPC was $(Ta_{2}O_{5}/SiO_{2})_{5}/Bi:YIG/(SiO_{2}/Ta_{2}O_{5})_{5}$ with optical thicknesses of 3$\lambda$ /4 for $Ta_{2}O_{5} and $SiO_2$ dielectric layers and $\lambda$ /2 for Bi:YIG defect layer, where $\lambda$ is a wavelength of a localized mode in the second photonic band gap. Faraday rotation at the localized mode in the second photonic band gap was enhanced, which was confirmed by calculation using 4${\times}$4 matrix method.

We have designed two photonic crystal waveguide (PCW) structures with output focused beams in order to achieve more coupling between photonic devices and decrease the mismatch losses in photonic integrated circuits. PCW with coupled resonator optical waveguide (CROW) termination has been optimized by both one dimensional (1D) and seven dimensional (7D) particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms by evaluating the fitness function by the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The 1D and 7D-optimizations caused the factors of 2.79 and 3.875 improvements in intensity of the main lobe compared to the non-optimized structure, whereas the FWHM in 7D-optimized structure was increased, unlike the 1D case. It has also been shown that the increment of focusing causes decrement of the bandwidth.

Room-temperature continuous operation of two-dimensional photonic crystal lasers is achieved at 1.6 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ by using InGaAsP slab-waveguide triangular photonic crystal on top of wet-oxidized aluminum oxide. The main difficulty in the realization of photonic bandgap (OBG) structures has been the nontrivial difficulties in nanofabrication, especially for 3-dimensional PBG structures. Recently, 2-D PBG structures have attracted a great deal of attention due to their simplicity in fabrication and theoretical study as compared to the three-dimensional counterparts [1]. Recently, air-gulfed 2-D slab PBG lasers were reported by Caltech group [2]. However, this air-slab structure is mechanically fragile and thermally unforgiving. Therefore, a new structure that can remove this thermal limitation is dearly sought after for 2-D PBG laser to have practical meaning. In this talk, we report room-temperature continuous operation of 2-D photonic bandgap lasers that are thermally and mechanically stable.
