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.

We report temperature and strain sensing characteristics of two kinds of in-line fiber interferometers. One interferometer consists of a section of Hollow Optical Fiber(HOF) spliced between two Photonic Bandgap Fibers(PBGF) and the other is built by splicing a section of HOF between two Large Mode Area-Photonic Crystal Fibers(LMA-PCF). To minimize the splice losses, we carefully optimized the heating time and arc current of the splicer so as not to collapse the air holes of the fiber. It is found that the first interferometer has a temperature sensitivity of 15.4 pm/$^{\circ}C$ and a strain sensitivity of 0.24 pm/${\mu}\varepsilon$. The other interferometer exhibits a temperature sensitivity of 17.4 pm/$^{\circ}C$ and a strain sensitivity of 0.2 pm/${\mu}\varepsilon$.

A novel photonic bandgap(PBG) structure is proposed and measured for wide bandgap and compact circuit applications. The proposed structure realizes the ultra-wideband bandgap(2-octave) characteristics by superposing two different PBG structures into a coupled double-plane configuration. A low pass filter fabricated using 3-period of the PBG cells shows 2-octave 10 ㏈ stopband from 4.3 to 16.2 ㎓ and 0.2 ㏈ insertion loss in the passband. Moreover, we confirmed that 44∼70 % size reduction can be achieved using the proposed PBG structures. We expect this novel double-plane PBG structure is widely used for compact and wideband circuit applications, such as compact high-efficiency power amplifiers using harmonic tuning techniques.

Characteristics of two-dimensional slab photonic crystal lasers will be summarized. Room temperature c.w operation is demonstrated at 1.6 $\mu\textrm{m}$ by using InGaAsP slab-waveguide triangular photonic crystal on top of wet-oxidized aluminum oxide. 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]. Air-guided 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.(omitted)

We propose an optical gas sensor, which consists of a hollow core photonic bandgap fiber (HC-PBGF) and fiber Bragg grating (FBG), for the detection of acetylene gas. The gas detection scheme is uniquely characterized by modulating the Bragg wavelength of the fiber Bragg grating around a selected absorption line of gas filled in the photonic bandgap fiber. In the measurement, a 2m-long HC-PBGF and FBG with a Bragg wavelength of 1539.02nm were used. The FBG was modulated at 2Hz. We demonstrated that the optical fiber gas sensor was able to selectively measure the 2.5% and 5% of acetylene gases.

In this paper, we proposed novel photonic bandgap(PBG) structure using EGP(Elevated Ground Plane) and via in ceramic substrate of microstrip line. From analysis result, the proposed PBG structure is reduced 52.5% at size and increased 45 % at bandwidth compared to typical planar PBG structure. It is also reduced 32 % at size and improved more than 8 dB at power loss compared to typical multilayer DGS(Defected Ground Structure). The proposed PBG structure also can be used bandstop and lowpass filter and it will be useful for small microwave integrated circuit and module development.

In this paper, the power added efficiency(PAE) of class F power amplifier is improved by applying a new Photonic Bandgap (PBG) structure on the output of amplifier. The proposed spiral PBG structure is a two-dimensional (2-D) periodic lattice patterned on a dielectric slab that does not require nonplanar fabrication process. This structure bas higher suppression performance at second harmonic. Also, It has a sharp skirt property. This new PBG structure can be applied with class F power amplifier for efficiency improvement. We obtained the PAE of 73.62 % for CDMA applications, and the PAE performance is improved as much as 6.2 % compared with that of a conventional class F power amplifier.

The performances of millimeter wave Power amplifier have been improved by using PBG (photonic bandgap structure) in this paper. The PBG structure has been optimized to obtain the lowpass characteristics in Ka band and employed at output port of Ka band power amplifier. The harmonics of the power amplifier have been suppressed by the PBG of output port and the proposed PBG has suppressed the second harmonic to 40dBc around 50 GHz. The improvements of IMD and PAE of the amplifier employing the PBG structure are obtained $15\%$ and $25\%$, compared with those of the conventional Ka band power amplifier, respectively.
