Photonic microresonator research and applications

The technology surrounding the design and fabrication of optical microresonators has matured to a point where there is a need for commercialization. Consequently, there is a need for device research involving more advanced architectures and more esoteric operating principles. Photonic Microresonator Research and Applications explores advances in the fabrication process that enable nanometer waveguide separations, exceptionally smooth surfaces essential to reach Qfactors in the order of 106- 108 and high index contrast materials. Shows howto design and fabricate microresonators Discusses microresonators in photoniccrystals, microsphere circuits, and sensors, and provides application oriented examples Covers the latest in microresonator research with contributions from the leading researchers INDICE: Fundamental principles of operation and notes on fabrication.- Analytical methods and computational aspects related to microring and microdisk resonator circuits.- Polarization conversion and polarization control in couplers and microresonators.- Series and parallel coupled add/drop filters and extension of the FSR.- Advanced microring photonic filter design and dispersion compensation.- Band limited microresonator reflectors and mirror structures.- Periodic structures with/without embedded defects; delay lines, standing wave resonators and slow wave structures.- Active microresonator devices, modulation,switching, and tuning.- Sensor applications and optimization.- Nonlinearity and bistability in photonic microresonator circuits.- Photonic microresonators not based on guided waves.- Photonic crystal ring resonators and ring resonator circuits.- Photonic molecules and spectral engineering.- Fundamentals and applications of microsphere resonator circuits.
