Design of a high-performance optical tweezer for nanoparticle trap**
Integrated optical nanotweezers offer a novel paradigm for optical trap**, as their ability to confine light at the nanoscale leads to extremely high gradient forces. To date, nanotweezers have been realized...

Triggering extreme events at the nanoscale in photonic seas
Hurricanes, tsunamis, rogue waves and tornadoes are rare natural phenomena that embed an exceptionally large amount of energy, which appears and quickly disappears in a probabilistic fashion. This makes them d...

Enhanced energy storage in chaotic optical resonators
Chaos is a phenomenon that occurs in many aspects of contemporary science. In classical dynamics, chaos is defined as a hypersensitivity to initial conditions. The presence of chaos is often unwanted, as it in...

Green light emission in silicon through slow-light enhanced third-harmonic generation in photonic-crystal waveguides
Slow light has attracted significant interest recently as a potential solution for optical delay lines and time-domain optical signal processing1,2. Perhaps even more significant is the possibility of dramaticall...

Finite-depth and intrinsic losses in vertically etched two-dimensional photonic crystals
We address the issue of out-of-plane losses in two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystals (PC) etched through a GaAs monomode waveguide clad with standard GaAlAs alloys. We correlate experimental transmission of P...

Transmission properties of two-dimensional photonic crystal channel waveguides
We study the transmission properties of straight channel waveguides designed in a two- dimensional (2D) photonic crystal patterned into an AlGaAs heterostructure. 2D dispersion calculations show the existence ...

Measuring the optical properties of two-dimensional photonic crystals in the near infrared
We present measurements of two-dimensional photonic crystals in a waveguided geometry, using photoluminescence from emitters inserted in the guiding heterostructure as an internal light source. A complete set ...
