Engineered Photonic Materials for Nanoscale Optical Logic Devices

Abstract

Two major activities of this grant were to develop a generalized approach to the enhancement of nonlinear optical effects based upon slow-light propagation in artificial resonators and the study of nonlinear self-focusing in periodic arrays of photonic microcavities, thereby providing a mechanism for the formation of very narrow (i.e. wavelength scale) spatial solitons at very low powers.
