CUDOS Topical Workshop: The Light Line and Beyond!

22-Jul-04

CUDOS researchers from all five nodes convene for a topical workshop: The Light Line and Beyond! The topical workshop was held off-campus at the Sydney Fish Market.

Left: one-on-one tuition, middle: Dr. M Steel presenting, right: some of us take a break.

Program Outline

PC basics and concepts

2D Photonic Crystals:
Band-diagram, Bloch representation (1D, 2D, 3D), defects in a 2D world (z infinite)

 

3D Photonic Crystal:
Planar photonic crystal
PC horizontal confinement+ TIR vertical confinement « slab »
Planar waveguide dispersion curves/ Light-line concept
2D band diagram in this 3D world
PC building blocks (punctual defects, waveguides)

   
Keynote presentation

Pierre Viktorovitch, LEOM Lyon, France:
“2D Photonic crystal circuits and 2.5D Micro-Nano Photonics based on 2D PC” Or “exploitation of radiative modes to open PICs to the third dimension”
