Flat-band superprism in photonic crystals

Posted on 05/10/2018 by sas35

One of the key tasks in integrated photonics is the separation or demultiplexing of multiple different wavelength channels that are transported through the same waveguide. One way to separate different wavelength is to use refraction in a prism and the … Continue reading →

Thermally stable integrated laser

Posted on 02/08/2018 by sas35

One problem in silicon photonics is that current integrated light sources are very sensitive to variations in the operating temperature. Together with the Centre for Advanced Photonics & Process Analysis we have developed a hybrid laser with an external reflector … Continue reading →

PhC based tunable optical buffer

Posted on 29/06/2018 by sas35

In collaboration with the Centre for Advanced Photonics and Process Analysis at the Cork Institute of Technology, we have demonstrated a low loss optical buffer based on photonic crystal cavities, demonstrating a record low loss per storage time. The delay … Continue reading →
