We numerically simulate silicon-based waveguide-coupled planar square microcavities with embedded square lattice of air holes. Our two-dimensional finite-difference time-domain simulations reveal quasi-periodic high-Q resonances with frequencies limited within the first band of the photonic crystal.

Polycrystalline /spl beta/-FeSi/sub 2/ droplets were successfully formed by an exceptionally low temperature process: the room temperature pulsed laser deposition and a 350 /spl deg/C post-annealing. Their evidences have been derived by microscopic Raman spectroscopy and TEM observation.

We compared two different techniques of facet preparation of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguides: The conventional by dicing and polishing and our proposed by dry etching the facets and cleaving along anisotropically etched cleaving grooves.

Silicon-based modulators are the missing link necessary for practical optical interconnects. Electrically and thermally tunable silicon-based photonic bandgap structures are demonstrated as building blocks for compact and low power out-of-plane and in-plane optical modulation.

This paper presents the formation and time-resolved investigation of Er and Yb co-doped nc-Si thin films. Since the energy of the only one excited state /sup 2/F/sub 5/2/ of a Yb/sup 3+/ ion is almost same to that of the second excited state /sup 4/I/sub 11/2/ of an Er/sup 3-/ ion, the optical transition between them is expected to raise the excitation rate of the Er/sup 3+/ ion.

In this work we present and experimentally validate self-collimation in planar photonic crystals (PhC) as a means to achieve defect-free confinement of light in PhC devices. We demonstrate the ability to arbitrarily guide and route light by exploiting the dispersive characteristics of the photonic crystal. Propagation loss as low as 2.17 dB/mm is measured, and experimental validation of routing structures is presented.

With the greatly enhanced light-emission efficiencies in bulk silicon light emitting diodes (LEDs), they have investigated prospects for applying these improvements to the co-integration of optical and electronic functions into silicon-based microelectronics. One mitigating factor is the perceived need for microelectronics to move to SOI to maintain present rates of progress, with benefits for ultra-thin Si layers. For further investigation, optical properties of ultra-thin SOI are studied.
