The reflecting optics based on photonic crystal is demonstrated to be promising in such terminal unit of flexible screen as photonic ink, electronic paper and mobile telephone due to its unique optical properties of fadeless color and controllable brightness. Self-assembly of monodisperse nanospheres is a simple and effective approach to creating three-dimensional opaline or inverse opaline photonic crystals (colloidal crystal) in which ordered monodisperse solid or air spheres throughout the network contribute to the optical stop band. When the optical stop band falls into the visible region, a colloidal crystal turns out to be brilliantly colorific.","PeriodicalId":345360,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Workshop on Metamaterials","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130756817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Metamaterials, specially, metamaterials for microwave by composite right-left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL), are studied frequency in frequency-domain. For example, it was studied by transmission-reflection characteristics from S-parameter. But it is difficult to know clearly the relationship of phases, of group velocity, of phase velocity, and the wave propagation process. In this paper, the investigations of metamaterials for microwave in time-domain are presented: 1. The experimental set-up and the experimental method are presented for the microstrip transmission line protocol. For a simple CRLH-TL, it shows directly that the phase velocity is toward the source and is consequently antiparallel to the group velocity. 2. For the electric beam controlled CRLH-TL leaky wave antenna, it shows clear that there are two left-handed frequency ranges, but only one range can be used for electric beam controlled radiation. 3. For the asymmetric RH-CRLH coupler, which composed of a conventional right-handed (RH) transmission line and a CRLH transmission, the time-domain experimental results show that the phase velocities of the two lines to be equal and move toward the same direction. A vortex-like interface mode exists at the interface of a RH-CRLH coupler and the vortex-like interface mode can lead to slow propagation from the CRLH TL across the interface to the RH TL. 4. For the ENG/MNG pairs, the experiments in time-domain can show clear the distribution of evanescent wave in ENG/MNG pairs by transmission line, and the phase relationship between the input and output of the pair while the tunneling occurs. 5. For the photonic crystal transmission line, the experimental results can show the dispersive relation directly, and show there is no any left-handed transmission relationship. 6. For the coupler composed of CRLH-TL and PC-TL, the time-domain experiments show that it is similar to the coupler composed CRLH-TL and normal transmission line.","PeriodicalId":345360,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Workshop on Metamaterials","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130877480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Photonic crystal (PC) is acknowledged as an enabling science and technology of the manipulating photons in the size of micrometers. The research in PC integrated circuits is driven by the advantages seen in the variety of 2D PC slab devices, such as the ultrasmall cavity laser, ultra-low loss sharp bend waveguide, high performance and small sized beam splitters and so on. Analogous to electronic integrated circuits, integrating photonic functions on a PC chip allows the realization of cheaper and more compact optical systems with higher performance. As one of the key components, PC edge-emitting microcavity laser attracts many interests. In the experiment, the MOCVD-grown InGaAsP/InP wafer including seven 9-nm thick QWs whose gain peak was at 1.538 mum was employed. The device was fabricated by typical nanofabrication processing. Optical pumped lasers shows high out efficiency over 20%, and single modes with a large side mode suppression of 37 dB. The microcavity shows tunable lasing characteristics depending on the selective mode pumping.
