Slow and Fast Light - Penetrating the Fog
Online Presentations | 16 Dec 2010 | Contributor(s):: Jacob B. Khurgin
Performance of optical delay lines and nonlinear devices based on slow wave propagation in photonic crystal waveguides in the presence of higher order dispersion is analyzed and compared with other slow light schemes, such as coupled resonators and media with electromagnetically-induced...

Photonic Metamaterials: From Linear to Nonlinear Optics
Online Presentations | 14 Dec 2010 | Contributor(s):: Natalia Litchinitser
Metamaterials open unparalleled opportunities for "engineering" previously inaccessible values of refractive indices from positive to near-zero and even negative values, and new avenues for light manipulation. While an enormous progress has been made in the field of linear optics of uniform...

Illinois iOptics Lecture 5: Deposited Nanorod Films for Biosensor Applications
Online Presentations | 17 May 2010 | Contributor(s):: Brian Cunningham
Planar photonic crystals have been used as the basis of many biological sensing devices. Here, we successfully demonstrated that the combination of a photonic crystal structure and a dielectric nanorod coating prepared by the glancing angle deposition technique can lead to significant increases...

Experiment vs. Modelling: What's the problem?
Online Presentations | 10 Aug 2009 | Contributor(s):: William L. Barnes
Progress in plasmonics has been greatly assisted by developments in experimental techniques and in numerical modelling. This talk will look at some of the difficulties that emerge when comparisons are made between experiment and theory. Through the use of four examples I will illustrate what some...
