Guiding Light through Disorder in Adaptive Photonic Resonator Arrays (PHAROS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

Planar photonic crystals are dielectric nanostructures that are pursued worldwide as a platform for integrated nanophotonic circuits. Such circuits will process signals coded in light and will consist of thousands of basic components such as resonant nanocavities. At present, unavoidable nanometer-scale disorder makes such large-scale integration impossible. Disorder causes the resonances of the n ...
