Download or read book Dispersion Engineering for Integrated Nanophotonics written by Olivier Vanbésien and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-03-06 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows how dispersion engineering in two dimensional dielectric photonic crystals can provide new effects for the precise control of light propagation for integrated nanophotonics. Dispersion engineering in regular and graded photonic crystals to promote anomalous refraction effects is studied from the concepts to experimental demonstration via nanofabrication considerations. Self collimation, ultra and negative refraction, second harmonic generation, mirage and invisibility effects which lead to an unprecedented control of light propagation at the (sub-)wavelength scale for the field of integrated nanophotonics are detailed and commented upon.
