A feasibility study for the fabrication of master replication with nanostructures by Nanoimprint Lithography (NIL) was investigated for application of polymer Photonic Bandgap (PBG) devices used in photonic IC. Large area gratings of $9{\times}15(mm^2)$ with p = 400 nm was successfully embossed on PMMA on silicon wafer and the embossing parameters (temperature, pressure, time) were established. A precise control of $O_2$ plasma Reactive Ion Etching (RIE) process time allowed window opening over the whole area despite the presence of wafer bending. Master replication with aspect ratio 1 was successfully fabricated, but master replication with aspect ratio 3 needs to optimize parameters. All replications were done in a NIL process.

A cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) system exhibits one-dimensional (1-D) Photonic bandgap (PBG) characteristics in the transmission spectrum through a selective Bragg reflection. Related to the nonlinear optical (NLO) processes in a PBG structure of CLC, the inherent periodicity has been exploited to Phase-match the fundamental and the harmonic waves through the umklapp Processes. Near bandgap edges of a CLC, harmonic generations have been shown to be enhanced significantly through the field localization. (omitted)

Photonic crystals, periodic structure with a high refractive index contrast modulation, have recently become very interesting platform for the manipulation of light. The existence of a photonic bandgap, a frequency range in which the propagation of light is prevented in all directions, makes photonic crystal very useful in application where the spatial localization of light is required, for example waveguide, beam splitter, and cavity. However, the fabrication of 3 dimensional photonic crystals is still difficult process. A concept that has recently attracted a lot of attention is a planar photonic crystal based on a dielectric membrane, suspended in the air and perforated with two dimensional lattice of hole. The fabrication of Si master with pillar structure using hot embossing process is investigated for two dimensional, low-index-contrast photonic crystal waveguide. From our research we show that the multiple stamp copy process proved to be feasible and useful.

The large and polarization-independent photonic bandgap (PBG) is very useful to the application to various optical devices. Until present, it has been known that the PBG for a triangular lattice remains the largest both in the E- and H-polarized modes. However, we proposed a new structure with a larger polarization-independent PBG, by analyzing and systemizing the PBG opening trends as the structural changes. This optimal structure for maximum bandgap has more increased gap-midgap ratio $(\Delta\omega/\omega)$ of about $30\%$ than the triangular lattice.

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)

In this paper, a phase shifter with shifting photonic bandgap(PBG) cell in linear feedforward amplifier is designed and fabricated in 5GHz wireless LAN band. Now a day, the phase shifter has been fabricated with hybrid type. In this paper, a portion of PBG cell is shifted for the tuning phase. The phase shift was achieved maximum 80o in our PBG structure. Shifting PBG cell has been applied in feedforward main loop to cancel the main two tone signal.

A new type of photonic bandgap(PBG) structures that consist of arrays of spiral metal patches is proposed in this paper. Reflection phases and radiation of these PBG structures are simulated by high frequency structure simulator(HFSS) to characterize their performance. The simulation results show that the resonant frequency of the proposed PBG structures gets significantly lower than those of the PBG structures with square metal patches, but that the radiation is nearly the same for both of the PBG structures. Analysis on reflection phases reveals that the lowering of the resonant frequency is associated with the increase in capacitance.

Bragg fibers, consisting of a low index core (including air) surrounded by a series of periodic layers of alternate high and low refractive index materials, each being higher than that of the core, form a 1D photonic bandgap (PBG). In view of the multitude of individual physical parameters that characterize a Bragg fiber, they offer a wide choice of parametric avenues to tailor their propagation characteristics. Owing to their unique PBG guidance mechanism, Bragg fibers indeed exhibit unusual dispersion characteristics that are otherwise nearly impossible to achieve in conventional silica fibers. Solid core Bragg fibers, amenable to fabrication by the highly mature MCVD technology, could be designed to realize broadband supercontinuum light. This talk would review our recent works on modeling of propagation characteristics, dispersion tailoring in them for applications as metro as well as dispersion compensating fibers and also as supercontinuum light generators.
