Sixth 2006-2007 Meeting of the National Capital Section of the Optical Society of America At the University of Maryland, A.V. Williams Bldg College Park, MD
Joint Meeting with Washington/NOVA LEOS
Tuesday 20 March 2007, 6:00 pm
"STATE OF THE ART PHOTONIC NANOSTRUCTURE DEVICES" Prof. Toshihiko Baba, Yokohama National University Washington/NOVA LEOS Distinguished Lecturer Seminar
ABSTRACT
Photonic crystals are artificial multidimensional periodic nanostructures, which can be designed by the photonic band theory. They have great potentials for various novel optoelectronic devices due to their photonic bandgap and anomalous dispersion characteristics. In this lecture, fundamentals to possible applications of photonic crystals, and their recent topics such as nanolasers, slow light, negative index optics, etc. will be overviewed. Besides, the other competitive photonic nanostructures, i.e. high index contrast (HIC) waveguides and cavities, will also be presented with the topics of silicon photonics.
The Meeting will be at the University of Maryland, College Park, MD A. V. Williams Building, Room 2460. followed by an optional dinner at a nearby Restaurant.
