Infrared photonic crystal fiber
An infrared photonic crystal fiber has been made by multiple extrusions of silver halide (AgClxBr1–x) crystalline materials. The core of the fiber consisted of pure AgBr, and the cladding area in...

Concept of a liquid-crystal polarization beamsplitter based on binary phase gratings
We propose a concept of fabricating a liquid-crystal (LC) polarization beamsplitter based on binary phase gratings. The binary grating phenomenon in the LC layer physically originates from two differe...

Subthreshold measurements of a photonic crystal (PC) microcavity laser operating at 1.3 µm show a linewidth of 0.10 nm, corresponding to a quality factor (Q)~1.3×104. The PC microcavity mode is a donor-type mode in a graded square lattice of air holes, with a theoretical Q~105 and mode volume Veff~0.25 cubic half-wavelengths in air. Devices are fabricated in an InAsP/InGaAsP multi-quantum-well membrane and are optically pumped at 830 nm. External peak pump power laser thresholds as low as 100 µW are also observed. ©2003 American Institute of Physics.
