    Abstract: Systems and methods for manipulating light with tunable ferroelectric photonic devices. Devices having tunable properties that exhibit photonic bandgap behavior are fabricated from ferroelectric materials. Apparatus is provided to apply tuning signals to the ferroelectric material using one or more of electric fields, mechanical forces, optical fields, and thermal fields. Control circuitry is provided to generate the control signals needed to apply the tuning signals. Input and output ports are provided to allow input signals to be received and to provide output signals. In some cases, a feedback loop is provided to use a portion of the output signal as a diagnostic signal for control of the operation of the device within an acceptable range. It is expected that ferroelectric photonic devices operating according to principles of the invention will be useful for a wide variety of applications, including optical switching, optical modulation, optical computing, and performing logic optically.

    Abstract: A differential interference contrast (DIC) determination device and method utilizes an illumination source, a layer having a pair of two apertures that receive illumination from the illumination source, and a photodetector to receive Young's interference from the illumination passing through the pair of two apertures. In addition, a surface plasmon assisted optofluidic microscope and method utilize an illumination source, a fluid channel having a layer with at least one aperture as a surface, and a photodetector that receives a signal based on the illumination passing through the aperture. The layer is corrugated (e.g., via fabrication) and parameters of the corrugation optimize the signal received on the photodetector.

    Abstract: A strip loaded waveguide comprises a slab and a strip, wherein the strip is separated from the slab. Nevertheless, a guiding region is provided for propagating an optical mode and this guiding region extends both within the strip and the slab. A layer of material having an index of refraction lower than that of the strip and the slab may be disposedbetween and separate the strip and the slab. In one embodiment, the slab comprises a crystalline silicon, the strip comprises polysilicon or crystalline silicon, and the layer of material therebetween comprises silicon dioxide. Such waveguides may be formed on the same substrate with transistors. These waveguides may also be electrically biased to alter the indexof refraction and/or absorption of the waveguide.
