We have fabricated two-dimensional photonic crystals (PhCs) on the surface of Si nanocrystal-rich SiO2 layers with the goal to maximize the photoluminescence extraction efficiency in the normal direction. The fabricated periodic structures consist of columns ordered into square and hexagonal pattern with lattice constants computed such that the red photoluminescence of Si nanocrystals (SiNCs) could couple to leaky modes of the PhCs and could be efficiently extracted to surrounding air. Samples having different lattice constants and heights of columns were investigated in order to find the configuration with the best performance. Spectral overlap of the leaky modes with the luminescence spectrum of SiNCs was verified experimentally by measuring photonic band diagrams of the leaky modes employing angle-resolved spectroscopy and also theoretically by computing the reflectance spectra. The extraction enhancement within different spatial angles was evaluated by means of micro-photoluminescence spectroscopy. More than 18-fold extraction enhancement was achieved for light propagating in the normal direction and up to 22% increase in overall intensity was obtained at the spatial collection angle of 14°.

This paper focuses on manipulating thermal emission and radiation loss of heat energy in a heat waveguide. A One-Dimensional Photonic Crystal is used as a waveguide clad to prohibit the thermal emission from escaping. The model may reduce the radiation loss of heat energy in the waveguide core, and heat energy can be confined to propagate along the waveguide’s longitude axis. The waveguide clad comprises alternative layers of high and low refractive index materials containing sufficient electromagnetic stop bands to trap the thermal emission from escaping out of the waveguide. The numerical simulation of the model shows that the forbidden bandgap of photonic crystal structures with alternative layers of silica and silicon has width enough to make heat energy be confined within the waveguide core so that efficient heat energy transmission can be achieved along the longitude axis of the waveguide.

ABSTRACTIn the last years, in order to achieve active tuning of photonic crystals devices, the possibility to use liquid crystal inside photonic crystals has been explored.On this line of argument, in this paper, we numerically investigate a tunable T-shaped waveguide diplexer, based on a two-dimensional square lattice photonic crystal composed of silicon rods in a liquid crystals. We prove that complete splitting of the entire input wavelengths range in two sub-ranges symmetrical with respect to the middle (switching) wavelength, and propagating in right and left arms respectively, can be achieved. Moreover, changing the refractive index of liquid crystals by electro-optical effect, a tuning of switching wavelength of about 60 nm can be obtained.
