Abstract
A photonic crystal structure includes a microcavity (point defect). The photonic crystal structure (or just the microcavity) is doped with materials that exhibit electro-magnetic induced transparency (EIT) so as to increase the non-linear properties of the photonic crystal.
Claims18
A photonic crystal structure containing a microcavity structure that is doped with materials that exhibit electromagnetic induced transparency (EIT) so as to increase the non-linear properties of said photonic crystal systems.
A method of forming a microcavity structure comprising:
- providing a photonic crystal structure that includes a point defect region;
- and
- doping said photonic crystal with materials that exhibit electromagnetic induced transparency (EIT) so as to increase the non-linear properties of said photonic crystal systems.
