A circular polarizer, which is composed of periodic and two-dimensional dielectric high-contrast gratings, is designed theoretically such that a unity conversion efficiency is achieved at λ0 = 1.55 μm. The operation is ...

We investigate the localized coupled-cavity modes in two-dimensional dielectric photonic crystals. The transmission, phase, and delay time characteristics of the various coupled-cavity structures are measured and calculated. ...

In this paper we present our efforts on the design, fabrication and characterization of high-speed, visible-blind, GaN-based ultra-violet (UV) photodiodes using indium-tin-oxide (ITO) Schottky contacts. ITO is known as a ...

Monolithically integrated quadruple back-illuminated ultraviolet metalsemiconductormetal photodetectors with four different spectral responsivity bands were demonstrated on each of two different Al xGa 1-xN heterostructures. ...

A high speed and high efficiency resonant cavity enhanced InGaAs based photodetector was demonstrated. A peak quantum efficiency of 66% was measured along with 31 GHz bandwidth with the device. The photoresponse was found ...

An asymmetric, reciprocal, diffraction-free transmission of linearly polarized waves in a new diodelike, three-layer, ultrathin, chiral structure is studied theoretically and experimentally. The exploited physical mechanism ...

Widely-tunable high-speed resonant cavity enhanced p-i-n photodiodes were designed, fabricated and tested for operation around 820 nm. The structure was grown by solid-source MBE on GaAs substrates and features high-reflectivity ...

A layer-by-layer three-dimensional photonic crystal, with a full photonic bandgap (PBG) in all directions is proposed. The electrical fields in the cavities of this crystal are usually enhanced, and by placing active devices ...

The top-illuminated Schottky photodiodes were fabricated by a microwave-compatible monolithic microfabrication process. Fabrication started with formation of ohmic contacts to n+ layers. Mesa isolation was followed by a ...

We have investigated two major applications of photonic band gap materials. We demonstrated the guiding and bending of electromagnetic waves through planar waveguides built around layer-by-layer photonic crystals. We then ...
