Various species of insects display vivid colors, widely known as 'structural color' due to their optical interference. Morpho butterflies are famous for their brilliant iridescent colors, which arise from the photonic-nanostructures of optical interference on their wings. In this paper, we outline the results of a comparative study of the optical properties of bio-inspired Morpho butterfly structures with the widely known Distributed Bragg Reflector (DBR), conducted using a rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) method for the two structures. Almost analogous tendencies were observed for both Morpho and DBR structures. With variation in the surrounding media, however, Morpho structures showed an obvious peak shift while no significant changes were observed in DBR, which can be applicable.

It is reported that the spectral loss of photonic crystal fiber (PCF) having a large hole-to-hole distance (~ 10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) is sensitive to micro- and macrobending when compared with the conventional single-mode fiber. In this paper, we will present the measurement result of the macro- and microbending characteristics of fabricated PCF with large hole-to-hole distance (> 10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) . For the macrobending experiment, the fiber was simply wound around a circular structure with variable diameter that could be reduced to a few centimeters. For the microbending case, regularly spaced silica rods were attached on a slide glass and pressed against the fiber by loading a stack of metal plates of known weight on the glass. The transmission loss spectrum shows a rather flat response to the to microbending, and this makes the PCF a good candidate for a wideband variable optical attenuator.

A new approach for identification of a microwave frequency using an integrated optical waveguide chip, combined with a phase modulator (PM) and two microring resonators (MRRs), is proposed, theoretically deduced, and verified. By wavelength tuning to set the PM under the condition of a double side band (DSB), the measurement range can be started from the dc component, and the measurement range and response slope can be adjusted by designing the radius and transmission coefficient of the MRR. Simulations reveal that the amplitude comparison function (ACF) has a monotonic relationship from dc to 32.5 GHz, with a response slope of 5.15 dB under conditions of DSB modulation, when the radius values, transmission coefficients, and the loss factors are designed respectively as $R_1=400{\mu}m$, $R_2=600{\mu}m$, $t_1=t_2=0.63$, and ${\gamma}_1={\gamma}_2=0.66$. Theoretical calculations and simulation results both indicate that this new approach has the potential to be used for measuring microwave frequencies, with the advantages of compact structure and superior reconfigurability.

In this paper, a specifically designed waveguide structure that can carry first, and second-order orbital angular momentum(: OAM) mode is proposed. The proposed optical waveguide consists of three Si stripes embedded in $SiO_2$, which is suitable for implementing on-chip integration and fabrication by standard thin film deposition and etching processes. The second-order OAM mode was generated by combining two eigenmodes, which are calculated by finite difference method(: FDM). The topological charge number of the first, and second-order OAM mode was calculated as l=0.9642 and 1.8766 respectively, which is close to the theoretical value.

In this paper, we introduced a band-pass filter employed the PBG structure and the aperture on the ground together. The harmonics of band pass filter have been suppressed by employing the PBG structure and the bandwidth of it has been broadened by using the aperture on the ground. The designed PBG cells have three different sizes. The largest cells, the middle cells, and the smallest cells have suppressed the multiple of second harmonics, the multiple of third harmonics, and the multiple of fifth harmonics, respectively. The center frequency has been 2.18 GHz. The bandwidth has been increased from 230 MHz up to 310 MHz(80 MHz, about $35\%$) by the aperture and the ripple characteristics in passband have been improved and the harmonic frequencies have been suppressed about 30 dB by the PBG.

We fabricated GaN nanopores m the etching process of anodic oxidation of aluminum. The aluminum was deposited by using E-beam evaporator on p-type GaN. After the aluminum was anodized GaN structure was exposed to the electric field with the oxidat species. The fabricated nanopore structure provides the enhanced intensity of light emission at the wavelengths 470 nm. We investigated the structure of the GaN nanopores from FE-SEM and EDS measurements.

A bandpass filter has been designed by employing the PBG structure and the aperture on the ground together in this paper. The harmonics of band pass filter have been suppressed by employing the PBG structure and the bandwidth of it has been broadened by using the aperture on the ground. The three kinds of PBG structures has been combined to suppress the harmonics of the filter The center frequency of filter is 2.2 GHz and the bandwidth has been increased from $40\%$ by the aperture and all harmonics were suppressed about 35dBc by the PBG. The insertion loss has been reduced 3.0dB to 2.6dB.

The goal of this study is to realize the PBG lowpass filter using novel PBG structure modification both upper layer and ground layer. It has been designed three aperture slots of ground layer for PBG structure which the center slot shape of ground is two type, rectangular and dumbbell.

It has the cutoff frequency of each 4.465GHz and 3.52GHz and at least -20dB of the signal suppression at the stopband

In this paper, we facilitate the analysis of 1D PBG structure using a ABCD matrix formulation after converting field parameters into circuit parameters. Dispersion diagrams for an infinite 1D PBG structure are derived and compared with the frequency responses for a finite structure (N=10). When the proposed method is adopted, the analysis and synthesis of 1D PBG structures become very convenient.

In this paper, we studied the design of power divider using the slow-wave effect of Photonic Bandgap structure, which is etched on the ground plane. The proposed PBG structure can provides the changing of the characteristic impedance of the transmission line and the group delay velocity characteristic. Therefore we can make wider width than the width of conventional transmission line and decrease the length of transmission line. We presented the application for power divider using the characteristic impedance and electrical length extracted from scattering parameter. As adding proposed defect units, the effect of defect is studied. The experimental results show good agreements with the simulated results.
