In this paper, we review the basic properties of resonant leaky mode elements implemented with periodic waveguide layers and consider their applicability in photonic devices and systems. Leaky waveguide modes can be exited when an incident light beam is coupled into the waveguide structure through an inscribed periodicity under phase-matching conditions. This results in generation of a guided-mode resonance field response in the spectrum. Device operation can be explained in terms of the photonic band structure and associated leaky-wave effects near the second stop band. Resonant devices such as bandpass/bandstop filters, polarizers, wideband reflectors, biosensors, tunable filters, and display pixels can be designed using this operational principle.

Abstract Incorporating group IV photonic nanostructures within active top-illuminated photonic devices often requires light-transmissive contact schemes. In this context, plasmonic nanoapertures in metallic films can not only be realized using CMOS compatible metals and processes, they can also serve to influence the wavelength-dependent device responsivities. Here, we investigate crescent-shaped nanoapertures in close proximity to Ge-on-Si PIN nanopillar photodetectors both in simulation and experiment. In our geometries, the absorption within the devices is mainly shaped by the absorption characteristics of the vertical semiconductor nanopillar structures (leaky waveguide modes). The plasmonic resonances can be used to influence how incident light couples into the leaky modes within the nanopillars. Our results can serve as a starting point to selectively tune our device geometries for applications in spectroscopy or refractive index sensing.

This paper reports on the measurement system of the phase difference between s- and p-polarization components of the light passing through a guided-mode resonance (GMR) device using a digital micromirror device (DMD) gratings as a digital phase-shifting device. The phase of the non-zeroth order diffraction beams of the grating pattern displayed on the DMD can exhibit a phase change when the grating pattern is shifted. Two nearest different diffraction orders of p-polarized and s-polarized beams can be used as the reference and measurement beams, respectively, and are combined to implement the phase-shifting interferometry (PSI). The phase difference between the s- and the p-polarization components of the incident light passing through the GMR device can be obtained by applying the four-step phase-shift algorithm to the DMD-based PSI system. Experimental results show that this measurement system has a phase detection limit of 1° and was able to obtain the abrupt phase difference curve of the GMR device versus the incident angle.

AbstractUnique and flexible properties of non-Hermitian photonic systems attract ever-increasing attention via delivering a whole bunch of novel optical effects and allowing for efficient tuning light-matter interactions on nano- and microscales. Together with an increasing demand for the fast and spatially compact methods of light governing, this peculiar approach paves a broad avenue to novel optical applications. Here, unifying the approaches of disordered metamaterials and non-Hermitian photonics, we propose a conceptually new and simple architecture driven by disordered loss-gain multilayers and, therefore, providing a powerful tool to control both the passage time and the wave-front shape of incident light with different switching times. For the first time we show the possibility to switch on and off kink formation by changing the level of disorder in the case of adiabatically raising wave fronts. At the same time, we deliver flexible tuning of the output intensity by using the nonlinear effect of loss and gain saturation. Since the disorder strength in our system can be conveniently controlled with the power of the external pump, our approach can be considered as a basis for different active photonic devices.

This paper presents a compact spectral detection system for common fluorescent and colorimetric assays. This system includes a gradient grating period guided-mode resonance (GGP-GMR) filter and charge-coupled device. In its current form, the GGP-GMR filter, which has a size of less than 2.5 mm, can achieve a spectral detection range of 500–700 nm. Through the direct measurement of the fluorescence emission, the proposed system was demonstrated to detect both the peak wavelength and its corresponding intensity. One fluorescent assay (albumin) and two colorimetric assays (albumin and creatinine) were performed to demonstrate the practical application of the proposed system for quantifying common liquid assays. The results of our system exhibited suitable agreement with those of a commercial spectrometer in terms of the assay sensitivity and limit of detection (LOD). With the proposed system, the fluorescent albumin, colorimetric albumin, and colorimetric creatinine assays achieved LODs of 40.99 and 398 and 25.49 mg/L, respectively. For a wide selection of biomolecules in point-of-care applications, the spectral detection range achieved by the GGP-GMR filter can be further extended and the simple and compact optical path configuration can be integrated with a lab-on-a-chip system.
