  • 주기적인 유전율의 변화를 가지는 광결정에 대한 연구가 최근 10여년간 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 광결정에 존재하는 특성인 광 밴드갭(photonic bandgap) 효과를 이용한 단일 결함 구조의 레이저나 선결함의 도파로에 응용성이 활발하게 이루어지는 가운데 새로운 시도로 표면파(surface wave)를 이용한 광결정의 응용성을 고찰해 보았다. 주기적으로 층이 진 물질과 균일한 물질의 경계면에서 전자기파가 구속 될 수 있다는 것이 보고된 바 있다. (중략)

  • By using transfer matrix method, the transmittance of 1D-superconductingdielectric photonic crystals (1D-SPCs) was calculated. The variance of the intensity and the bandwidth of the transmission are strongly dependent on the thicknesses, temperatures, and number of periods. We, also, obtained a new behavior at different critical temperatures of superconductor materials.

  • We have studied both theoretically and experimentally an omnidirectional reflector operating at the wavelength region of 1.3 $\mu$m. The omnnidirectional reflector, a special case of one-dimensional photonic crystals, was prepared by alternately sputtering two dielectric materials, amorphous silicon and silicon dioxide. Measured reflectance spectra, very consistent with simulated results at all angles and polarizations, clearly showed the existence of an omnidirectional photonic bandgap.

  • Low-dislocation-density large-diameter GaAs single crystals with low-residual-strain have been strongly required. We have developed dislocation-free 3-inch Si doped GaAs crystals for photonic devices, and low-dislocation-density low-residual-strain 4-inch to 6-inch semi-insulating GaAs crystals for electronic devices by Vertical Bridgman(VB) technique. We confirmed that VB substrates with low-residual-strain have higher resistance against slip-line generation during MBE process. VB-GaAs single crystals show uniform radial profile of resistivity reflecting to the flat solid-liquid interface during the crystal growth. Uniformity of micro-resistivity of VB-GaAs substrate is much better than of the LEC-GaAs substrate, which is due to the low-dislocation-density of VB-GaAs single crystals.

  • Photonic crystals containing rugate structure result in a mirror with high reflectivity in a specific narrow spectral region and are prepared by applying a computer-generated pseudo-sinusoidal current waveform. Well defined 1-dimentional photonic polymer replicas showing a reflectivity at 534 nm have been successfully obtained by the removal of rugate porous silicon (PSi) template from the polystyrene composite film. XRD measurement indicates that the oxidized rugate PSi has been completely removed from the composite films. Polymer replicas exhibit a sharp resonance in the reflectivity spectrum. Optical characteristics of photonic polymer replicas indicate that the surface of polymer film has a negative structure of rugate PSi. These replicas are stable in aqueous solutions for several days without any degradation. The methods have been provided for the construction of photonic structures with polymers.

  • A photonic crystal coupled-cavity waveguide created on silicon-on-insulator is designed to act as a refractive-index-sensing device at midinfrared wavelengths around 4 ㎛. To realize high sensitivity, effort is made to engineer the structural parameters to obtain strong modal confinement, which can enhance the interaction between the resonance modes and the analyzed sample. By adjusting some parameters, including the shape of the cavity, the width of the coupling cavity, and the size of the surrounding dielectric columns, a high-sensitivity refractive-index sensor based on the optimized photonic crystal coupled-cavity waveguide is proposed, and a sensitivity of approximately 2620 nm/RIU obtained. When an analyte is measured in the range of 1.0-1.4, the sensor can always maintain a high sensitivity of greater than 2400 nm/RIU. This work demonstrates the viability of high-sensitivity photonic crystal waveguide devices in the midinfrared band.

  • We have developed a simple synthetic method for fabricating a wafer-scale colloidal crystal film of 2D crystals in a 1D stack based on a combination of two simple processes : the self-assembly of polystyrene (PS) nanospheres at the water-air interface and the layer-by-layer (LbL) scooping transfer technique. The main advantage of this approach is that it allows excellent control of the thickness (at a layer level) of the crystals and the formation of a vertical crack-free layer over a wafer-scale (4 inch). We investigate the optical and morphological properties of the PhC multilayers fabricated using various mono-sized colloidal crystals (250, 300, 350, 420, 580, 720, and 850 nm), and mixed binary colloidal crystals (300/350 and 250/350 nm).

  • We design a 1$\times$4 optical splitter made of photonic crystal waveguides and analyze the properties of the optical splitter using the finite-difference time-domain method with perfectly-matched-layer absorbing boundaries. The photonic crystal is constructed from cylindrical rods in air on a square lattice. Our simulation results show that there are different transmission properties for four bend geometries and different incident-wave frequencies. The sum of the power transmission of the splitted light is over 93 percent at a certain geometry and frequency, and the incident power splits in the four arms with almost the same ratio.

  • Although the rotation angle and its spectrum of the magneto-optical Kerr effect are physical quantities determined inherently by the material itself, we found that they can widely be designed by utilizing a one-dimensional photonic crystal with a ferromagnetic defect layer. By suitable choice of the film structure, the rotation angle at a designated narrow wavelength is resonantly enhanced up to as several hundred times larger as ordinary rotation angle of the magnetic. This is originated by the localization of light at the magnetic layer inside the film.
