A critical angle can be defined beyond which all radiation losses are suppressed. Additionally an increase of the curvature radius of the bends also leads to low-loss configurations for incidence angles below that critical angle. A combination of two bent corner systems represents a step-like structure, behaving like a Fabry-Perot interferometer, with two partial reflectors separated by the vertical height between the horizontal slabs. We numerically analyse typical high-index-contrast Si/SiO2 structures for their reflectance and transmittance properties. When increasing the curvature radius the resonant effect becomes less relevant such that full transmittance is reached with less critical conditions on the vertical distance or the incidence angle. For practical interest 3-D problems are considered, where the structures are excited by the fundamental mode of a wide, shallow rib waveguide. High transmittance levels can be observed also for these 3-D configurations depending on the width of the rib.}}, author = {{Ebers, Lena and Hammer, Manfred and Förstner, Jens}}, journal = {{Optics Express}}, keywords = {{tet_topic_waveguide}}, number = {{14}}, pages = {{18621--18632}}, publisher = {{OSA Publishing}}, title = {{{Oblique incidence of semi-guided planar waves on slab waveguide steps: effects of rounded edges}}}, doi = {{10.1364/OE.26.018621}}, volume = {{26}}, year = {{2018}}, } @inproceedings{4579, abstract = {{Semi-guided waves confined in dielectric slab waveguides are being considered for oblique angles of propagation. If the waves encounter a linear discontinuity of (mostly) arbitrary shape and extension, a variant of Snell's law applies, separately for each pair of incoming and outgoing modes. Depending on the effective indices involved, and on the angle of incidence, power transfer to specific outgoing waves can be allowed or forbidden. In particular, critical angles of incidence can be identified, beyond which any power transfer to non-guided waves is forbidden, i.e. all radiative losses are suppressed. In that case the input power is carried away from the discontinuity exclusively by reflected semi-guided waves in the input slab, or by semi-guided waves that are transmitted into other outgoing slab waveguides. Vectorial equations on a 2-D cross sectional domain apply. These are formally identical to the equations that govern the eigenmodes of 3-D channel waveguides. Here, however, these need to be solved not as an eigenvalue problem, but as an inhomogeneous problem with a right-hand-side that is given by the incoming semi-guided wave, and subject to transparent boundary conditions. The equations resemble a standard 2-D Helmholtz problem, with an effective permittivity in place of the actual relative permittivity. Depending on the properties of the incoming wave, including the angle of incidence, this effective permittivity can become locally negative, causing the suppression of propagating outgoing waves. A series of high-contrast example configurations are discussed, where these effects lead to - in some respects - quite surprising transmission characteristics.}}, author = {{Hammer, Manfred and Ebers, Lena and Hildebrandt, Andre and Alhaddad, Samer and Förstner, Jens}}, booktitle = {{2018 IEEE 17th International Conference on Mathematical Methods in Electromagnetic Theory (MMET)}}, isbn = {{9781538654385}}, keywords = {{tet_topic_waveguides}}, publisher = {{IEEE}}, title = {{{Oblique Semi-Guided Waves: 2-D Integrated Photonics with Negative Effective Permittivity}}}, doi = {{10.1109/mmet.2018.8460455}}, year = {{2018}}, } @article{4831, abstract = {{Polarization of light is essential for some living organisms and many optical applications. Here, an orientation dependent polarization conversion effect is reported for light reflected from diamond‐structure‐based photonic crystals (D‐structure) inside the scales of a beetle, the weevil Entimus imperialis. When linearly polarized light propagates along its 〈100〉 directions, the D‐structure behaves analogous to a half‐wave plate in reflection but based on a different mechanism. The D‐structure rotates the polarization direction of linearly polarized light, and reflects circularly polarized light of both handednesses without changing it. This polarization effect is different from circular dichroism occurring in chiral biological photonic structures discovered before. The structural origin of this effect is symmetry breaking inside D‐structure's unit cell. This finding demonstrates that natural photonic structures can exploit multiple functionalities inherent to the design principles of their structural organization. Aiming at transferring the inherent polarization effect of the biological D‐structure to technically realizable materials, three simplified biomimetic structural models are derived and it is theoretically demonstrated that they retain the effect. Out of these structures, functioning woodpile structure prototypes are fabricated.}}, author = {{Wu, Xia and Rodríguez-Gallegos, Fernando L. and Heep, Marie-Christin and Schwind, Bertram and Li, Guixin and Fabritius, Helge-Otto and von Freymann, Georg and Förstner, Jens}}, issn = {{2195-1071}}, journal = {{Advanced Optical Materials}}, keywords = {{tet_topic_phc, tet_topic_bio}}, number = {{24}}, pages = {{1800635}}, publisher = {{Wiley}}, title = {{{Polarization Conversion Effect in Biological and Synthetic Photonic Diamond Structures}}}, doi = {{10.1002/adom.201800635}}, volume = {{6}}, year = {{2018}}, } @article{4165, abstract = {{Metal nanoparticles host localized plasmon excitations that allow the manipulation of optical fields at the nanoscale.

When looking at its quantum properties, described by photon correlations, new information about the state of the matter generating the radiation can be revealed. In particular the difference between independent and entangled emitters, which is at the heart of quantum mechanics, can be made visible in the photon statistics of the emitted light. The well-studied phenomenon of superradiance occurs when quantum–mechanical correlations between the emitters are present. Notwithstanding, superradiance was previously demonstrated only in terms of classical light properties. Here, we provide the missing link between quantum correlations of the active material and photon correlations in the emitted radiation. We use the superradiance of quantum dots in a cavity-quantum electrodynamics laser to show a direct connection between superradiant pulse emission and distinctive changes in the photon correlation function. This directly demonstrates the importance of quantum–mechanical correlations and their transfer between carriers and photons in novel optoelectronic devices.}}, author = {{Jahnke, Frank and Gies, Christopher and Aßmann, Marc and Bayer, Manfred and Leymann, H.
