Photonic-bandgap microcavities in optical waveguides
James Foresi,Pierre R. Villeneuve,J. Ferrera,E.R. Thoen,Günter Steinmeyer,Shanhui Fan,John D. Joannopoulos,Lionel C. Kimerling,Henry I. Smith,Erich P. Ippen +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured microcavity resonances in two-and three-dimensional photonic-bandgap (PBG) structures integrated directly into a sub-micrometre-scale silicon waveguide.
On-chip optical isolation in monolithically integrated non-reciprocal optical resonators
Lei Bi,Juejun Hu,Peng Jiang,Dong-Hun Kim,Gerald F. Dionne,Lionel C. Kimerling,Caroline A. Ross +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a non-reciprocal optical resonator with a small length footprint of 290 µm on a silicon-on-insulator substrate is presented, achieving unidirectional optical transmission with an isolation ratio of up to 19.5 dB near the telecommunications wavelength of 1,550 nm in a homogeneous external magnetic field.

An electrically pumped germanium laser
Rodolfo Camacho-Aguilera,Yan Cai,Neil Patel,Jonathan T. Bessette,Marco Romagnoli,Lionel C. Kimerling,Jurgen Michel +6 more
TL;DR: Electrically pumped lasing from Germanium-on-Silicon pnn heterojunction diode structures is demonstrated and a Germanium gain spectrum of nearly 200nm is observed.
Improving thin-film crystalline silicon solar cell efficiencies with photonic crystals
TL;DR: Here, a photonic crystal-based light-trapping approach is analyzed and compared to previous approaches for c-Si thin film solar cells, which gives rise to weak absorption of one-third of usable solar photons.
