We present the integrated chip-scale tuning of multiple photonic crystal cavities. The optimized implementation allows effective and precise tuning of multiple cavity resonances (up to similar to 1.60 nm/mW) and intercavity phase (similar to 0.038 pi/mW) by direct local temperature tuning on suspended silicon nanomembranes. Through designing the serpentine metal electrodes and careful electron-beam alignment to avoid cavity mode overlap, the coupled photonic crystal L3 cavities preserve their high quality factors. The deterministic resonance and phase control enables switching between the all-optical analog of electromagnetically-induced-transparency to flat-top filter lineshapes, with future applications of trapping photons and optoelectronic modulators.

Conducting and transparent single-wall carbon nanotube electrodes for polymer-fullerene solar cells Pasquier, AD; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Kanwal, A; Miller, S; Chhowalla, M (AIP Publishing, 2005-11-14) We describe the use of single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) thin films as transparent and conducting electrodes for hole collection in poly(hexyl)thiophene-[6-6]phenyl-C-61-butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT-PCBM) organic photovoltaics. We report a power conversion efficiency of 1%, with a fill factor of 0.3 and a short-circuit current of 6.5 mA/cm(2) under 100 mW/cm(2) polychromatic white light illumination measured in air. These values are comparatively higher than reference cells of similar thickness made on ...
Direct observation of the strength of plasmon-longitudinal optical phonon interaction in n-type GaAs Altan, Hakan; Matten, D.; Alfano, R. R. (AIP Publishing, 2006-07-31) The screening of longitudinal optical phonons by plasmons is investigated by time-resolved visible pump-mid-infrared probe transmission measurements in a series of light to highly doped n-type GaAs wafers. The reduced relaxation of photogenerated carriers is strongly correlated to the coupling between longitudinal optical phonons and background plasmons as suggested by the variation of the phonon strength over the doping range. The critical plasmon density at which the optical phonons were effectively scree...
Observations of temporal group delays in slow-light multiple coupled photonic crystal cavities Kocaman, Serdar; McMillan, J.F.; Yu, M.B.; Kwong, D.L.; Wong, C.W. (AIP Publishing, 2010-05-31) We demonstrate temporal group delays in coherently-coupled high-Q multi-cavity photonic crystals, in an all-optical analogue to electromagnetically induced transparency. We report deterministic control of the group delay up to 4× the single cavity lifetime in our CMOS-fabricated room-temperature chip. Supported by three-dimensional numerical simulations and theoretical analyses, our multi-pump beam approach enables control of the multi-cavity resonances and inter-cavity phase, in both single and double tran...
Electric dipole moments of charged leptons and lepton flavor violating interactions in the general two Higgs doublet model Iltan, EO (American Physical Society (APS), 2001-07-01) We calculate the electric dipole moment of the electron using the experimental result of the muon electric dipole moment and upper limit of the BR(mu-->e gamma) in the framework of the general two Higgs doubler model. Our prediction is 10(-32) e cm, which lies in the experimental current limits. Further, we obtain constraints for the Yukawa couplings )over bar>(D)(N,taue) and )over bar>(D)(N,tau mu). Finally, we present an expression which connects the BR(tau-->mu gamma) and the electric dipole moment of th...
Chip-scale integrated tuning of slow-light in all-optical multi-EIT analogue in photonic crystal cavities Gu, Tingyi; Kocaman, Serdar; Yang, Xiaodong; McMillan, James F; Yu, Mingbin; Kwong, DimLee; Wong, Chee Wei (2010-05-21) We present the integrated chip-scale tuning of multiple photonic crystal cavities. The optimized implementation allows for large tuning (20K/mW), with deterministic resonance control towards all-optical analogue to electromagnetically-induced-transparency on-chip.
