Swift heavy-ion-induced epitaxial crystallization of buried Si3N4 layer
We report on swift heavy-ion-beam-induced epitaxial crystallization of a buried Si3N4 layer. We observe good epitaxial crystallization at 200 °C, which is a much lower temperature than that requir...

A metallodielectric architecture is employed to readily tailor the spectral properties of a bulk material for application to infrared sources and spectroscopic sensors. We exploit the interaction between surface plasmons at a metal interface with a photonic crystal in silicon to control the spectral response of the surface in reflection, absorption, and emission. The design uses Si-based thermally isolated suspended bridge structures fabricated using conventional photolithography techniques. The tunable narrow spectral response is defined by the symmetry and periodicity of the metallodielectric photonic crystal. Individual subresonances are recognized within this bandwidth. We model their origin through calculations of surface-plasmon modes in the metallic grating overlayer. Periodic arrays of holes in thin metal layers lead to coupled plasmons at the two metal–dielectric interfaces that, in turn, couple to modes in the underlying silicon–air photonic crystal. The model provides crucial physical insight into the interaction between surface plasmons and photonic crystals, with good agreement with the experimental results. ©2005 American Institute of Physics

  28. The photons within the photonic crystal can couple to outgoing photons in the air region by conservation of energy, nuPC=nuair, and by conservation of parallel component of momentum, k<sub>PC</sub><sup>||</sup>=k<sub>air</sub><sup>||</sup>+G. Measurement of emitted photons in the air region within a 10° cone (theta<=10°) about the normal implies that |K<sub>air</sub><sup>||</sup>|=(omega/c)sin  theta. This analysis can be extended to the case where the photons in the PC couple through surface plasmons at the metal layer to photons in air.
