Background: Photonic crystals
are artificial multidimensional periodic nanostructures, which can be designed
by the photonic band theory. They have great potentials for various novel
optoelectronic devices due to their photonic bandgap and anomalous dispersion
characteristics. In this research group, fundamentals to possible applications
of photonic crystals, and their recent topics such as nanolasers, slow light,
negative index optics, etc. are studied. Besides, the other competitive
photonic nanostructures, i.e. high index contrast (HIC) waveguides and
cavities, are also investigated with silicon photonics.
