    Abstract: Room temperature lasing from optically pumped single defect in a two-dimensional photonic bandgap crystal is illustrated. The high Q optical microcavities are formed by etching an array of air holes into a half wavelength thick multiquantum well waveguide. Defects in the two-dimensional photonic crystal or used to support highly localized optical modes with volumes ranging from 2 to 3 (&lgr;/2n)3. Lithographic tuning of the air hole radius and the lattice spacing is used to match the cavity wavelength to the quantum well gain peak, as well as to increase cavity Q. The defect lasers were pumped with 10-30 nsec pulse of 0.4-1 percent duty cycle. The threshold pump power was 1500 milliwatts. The confinement of the defect mode energy to a tiny volume and the enhancement of the spontaneous emission rate make the defect cavity an interesting device for low threshold, high spontaneous emission coupling factor lasers, and high modulation rate light emitting diodes. Optic structures formed from photonic crystals also hold promise due to the flexibility of their geometries. Lithographic methods may be employed to alter the photonic crystal geometry so as to tune device characteristics. The integration of densely packed photonic crystal waveguides, prisons, and light sources integrated on a single monolithic chip is made possible. Lithographically defined photonic crystal cavities may also find use in some material systems as an alternative to epitaxially grown mirrors, such as for long wavelengths vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSEL) and GaN based devices.

    Abstract: By using electron beam lithography, chemically assisted ion beam etching, and electroplating, high aspect ratio magnetic columns, 60 nm-170 nm in diameter, which are embedded in an aluminum-gallium-oxide/gallium-arsenide (Al0.9Ga0.1)203/GaAs heterostructured substrate, are fabricated. Storage of data in electroplated Ni columns is realized in the form of tracks 0.5 &mgr;m and 0.25 &mgr;m in the down-track direction, and 1 &mgr;m in the cross-track direction, corresponding to areal densities of 1.3 and 2.6 Gbits/in2 respectively.

    Abstract: The emission properties of light-emitting diodes are enhanced by coupling to surface plasmons. The semiconductor emitter layer of the light-emitting diode is thinner than &lgr;/2 and is sandwiched between two metal films. A periodic pattern is defined in the top semitransparent metal layer by lithography with the result that it efficiently couples out the light emitted from the semiconductor and simultaneously enhances the spontaneous emission rate. Extraction efficiencies of up to 35% and Purcell factors of up to 4.5 are obtainable. Photoluminescence intensities of up to 46 times higher in fabricated structures compared to unprocessed wafers are obtained. The increased light emission is due to an increase in the efficiency and an increase in the pumping intensity resulting from trapping of pump photons within the microcavity.

    Abstract: Optical microcavities based on two dimensional arrays of holes defined in photonic crystals are optimized for maximum Q factors and minimum mode volume. They can also be used for strong coupling between the cavity field and an atom trapped within a defect of the photonic crystals, or for tunable filters if the holes are filled with electro-optical polymers. In one embodiment the Q factor of a cavity is increased by elongation of a plurality of holes in at least one row in a predetermined direction. Modal structures of microcavities, as well as quality factors, mode volumes, symmetry properties and radiation patterns of localized defect modes as a function of the slab thickness and parameters of photonic crystal and defects are illustrated.

    Abstract: Lateral pores in a thin metal film as well as fabricating branching and expanding ore arrays can be fabricated by a method of growing long pores laterally underneath a ask by use of stress compliant masks or varying the anodization voltage. Applications range from use with scanning electron microscope (SEM-compatible single molecule probe stations), to nanowire fixtures and to the use with a “pixelating, nonscanning” near field optical microscope (NOM). Pores are defined by conventional anodization vertically into the underlying membrane of preporous material through any overlying masking layers. The general solution is to utilize mechanically stable masks that withstand the stress during anodization and counteract the pore formation stress to lead to good pore ordering and directed growth. Multilayer masks are well suited for this. With a composition of materials having different elastic properties, tensile stress can be matched to counteract compressive stress caused by porous material growth. The boundary stress problem between preporous and porous material is solved by using a planarizing mask material that provides locally increased masking layer thickness at the critical boundary between nonporous and porous material in the film.
